Arduino Mega 2560 R3 ATmega2560 Compatible Module

The MEGA 2560-compatible ARDUINO is designed for projects that require more I / O lines, more sketch memory, and more RAM. With 54 digital I / O pins, 16 analog inputs and more sketch space, it is the recommended board for 3D printers and robotics projects.

The module has:
- ATmega2560 microcontroller - the system is clocked with a 12MHz clock signal
- in this version there is CH340 instead of FT232 for communication with PC
- 54 digital inputs,
- 15 PWM channels
- 16 analog inputs
- popular communication interfaces
- USB connector
- DC power socket
- RESET button
- pins for connecting the AVR programmer.

To begin, install the CH340 drivers, connect the system to the computer with a USB cable and select the Arduino Mega board in the Arduino IDE environment. Drivers: https://www.driverscape.com/download/usb-serial-ch341
