Description
The Arduino (Compatible) Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. Arduino is a popular open-source physical computing platform that is simple to use and easy to learn. You can use Arduino to develop stand-alone interactive objects or to connect to software on your computer. The Arduino IDE is free to download for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.
The Arduino Mega is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has 54 digital input/output pins, 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs, a USB connection, a power jack, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila.
The Mega 2560 R3 also has SDA and SCL pins next to the AREF. In addition, there are two new pins placed near the RESET pin: IOREF and a pin reserved for future purposes. The Mega 2560 R3 works with all existing shields but can adapt to new shields which use these additional pins.
