Value Arduino Mega 2560 Compatible Board
Need an Arduino Mega-compatible board and want to save money? Then order these value boards from PMD Way. They are cheaper thanks to using the CH340 USB interface IC (instead of FTDI or ATmega).
Now includes a short USB cable.
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.
