Arduino mega 2560

ARDUINO MEGA

The Arduino MEGA 2560 is a board based on the ATmega2560 and replaces the Arduino MEGA 1280.

Required for RAMPS boards to work.

Contains:

• 54 digital inputs/outputs
  • 15 PWM outputs,
  • 4 hardware serial ports,
  • external interrupts),
• 16 analog ch inputs
• 16MHz crystal oscillator
• USB connector
• Power connector
• ICSP connector and
• Reset button.
• LED indication of supply voltage, RX/TX signals and user LED.

The Arduino MEGA 2560 differs in the absence of an FTDI chip for converting a USB to serial interface. Instead, the newer version provides an ATmega16U2 that works as USB-to-serial.

NEW MEGA 2560 FEATURES

• added SDA and SCL pins near the AREF pin and two new pins located near the RESET signal
• Stronger circuit for generating the RESET signal
• ATmega8U2 replaced by new ATmega16U2
