Arduino Mega 2560 R3 Compatible with ESP8266 WiFi MCU and 32 Mb flash memory

$36.95
SKU 328019

Need an Arduino Mega-compatible board that also has an ESP8266 WiFI microcontroller on board? Then order these value boards from PMD Way. 

Our Arduino Mega 2560-compatible is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560 (datasheet). It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 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 your USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila.
