Mega 2560 is an Arduino board based on ATmega2560. It is one of the most advanced ATmega based Arduinos in terms of processor. It has 54 digital I/O pins. 14 of them can be used as PWM outputs. It has 16 analog inputs, 4 UART (serial ports), 16 MHz crystal oscillator, USB connection, adapter input, ICSP output and a reset button. With the Mega 2560 R3 model, the 16U2 model was used instead of the 8U2 model in the previous versions. In this way, faster data transfer is achieved using less memory.
It is compatible with all shields designed for Arduino Duemilanove and Diecimila. Thanks to more pins, we can use this advanced processor in many projects such as 3D printers that we cannot do with entry-level Arduinos such as Uno. Arduino Mega 2560 R3 is the latest model of Arduino Mega. It supports all the features found in previous models.
Arduino Mega 2560 can be powered from USB and an external adapter or battery. The power source is selected automatically. The board can be fed from an external source between 6-20V. If the supply is below 7V, the 5V output pin cannot give 5V and the board may work unbalanced. If an external power source higher than 12V is used, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the board. It is recommended to use 7-12 Volts.
It is an open source development platform. You can easily program microcontrollers with Arduino libraries. Thanks to its analog and digital inputs, you can process analog and digital data. You can easily design systems that can interact with its environment. You can design systems by processing the received data using sensors. You can make new hardware with the outputs of the systems you designed.
