π Arduino Mega 2560 R3
π‘ Powerful I/O-Rich Microcontroller for Advanced Projects
The Arduino Mega 2560 R3 is a powerful development board based on the ATmega2560, featuring a large number of digital and analog pins. Itβs perfect for complex electronics projects that require many sensors, actuators, or serial connections.
π‘οΈ Built-In Features
- π§ ATmega2560 microcontroller @ 16 MHz
- πΎ 256KB Flash, 8KB SRAM, 4KB EEPROM
- π USB-B port for programming and power
- π¦ 54 digital I/O (15 PWM), 16 analog inputs
- π Operates at 5V logic level
π¦ Large, Reliable, Expandable
With more I/O than most boards, the Mega is ideal for large-scale automation, control systems, and 3D printers. Fully compatible with the Arduino IDE and RAMPS shields.
