Introduction :
Arduino Mega 2560 R3 (latest Revision) Microcontroller Board is based on the Atmel ATmega2560 8-bit microcontroller (MCU).
Arduino Mega 2560 features 54 digital input/output pins (15 of which can be used as PWM outputs) and 16 analog inputs.
This MCU board also includes 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) header, and a reset button.
Arduino Mega 2560 includes everything the user needs to support the MCU.
The user can get started by connecting the Mega 2560 to a computer with the USB cable or by powering it with an AC-DC adapter or battery.
Arduino Mega 2560 board is compatible with most shields designed for the Uno.
Mega 2560 is an update to the earlier Arduino Mega board.
