This microcontroller development board has 4 channel 10 bit ADC, 5 PWM pins, 12 DIO, and a hardware serial connection Rx and Tx you are familiar with. Running on 16MHz and 5V, this board will remind you a lot of other Arduino compatible boards that you like. There is a voltage regulator on board, so it can accept up to 12V DC. If you are supplying an unstable power supply board, be sure to connect to the “RAW” not on the VCC pin. We have also added a PTC fuse and diode protection to the power circuit and to correct the RX and LED TX circuits.

The?Arduino Mega 2560?is a microcontroller board based on the?ATmega2560. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, 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 a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega 2560 board is compatible with most shields designed for the Uno and the former boards Duemilanove or Diecimila.

The Mega 2560 is an update to the?Arduino Mega, which it replaces.
