AdraXx Arduino Mega 2560 R3 Micrcontroller Board Based ATMEGA 2560 With USB Cable

The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 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 is an update to the Arduino Mega;which it replaces. The Mega2560 differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead;it features the ATmega16U2 (ATmega8U2 in the revision 1 and revision 2 boards) programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.
