Arduino Mega 2560 R3 Description: Arduino is an open-source physical
computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development
environment that implements the Processing/Wiring
language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive
objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash,
Processing, MaxMSP). The open-source IDE can be downloaded for free (currently for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux).
The Arduino Mega is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560.
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 a 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.
The Mega 2560 R3 also adds SDA and SCL pins next to the AREF. In
addition, there are two new pins placed near the RESET pin. One is the
IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the
board. The other is a not connected and is reserved for future purposes.
The Mega 2560 R3 works with all existing shields but can adapt to new
shields which use these additional pins.
