Arduino Mega 16U2 Original board 2560 R3 with Compatible USB Cable

The Arduino Mega 2560 is an open-source microcontroller board based on ATmega2560. Along with this, it also has 54 digital I/O pins, 16 Analog Inputs, 4 UARTs, an ICSP Header, a 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator, a reset button, a USB port, and a DC Power Jack.

It is designed for projects that require more I/O lines, more sketch memory, and more RAM. It is best suited for Robotics, 3D printers, RC planes, etc. projects that require many sensors with different communication protocols and actuators to work in tandem. It gets programmed with the help of Arduino IDE and you do not need to attach any other components to program them. Its uses include DIY projects, IoT-based projects, Robotics, and Prototyping for Electronic components and systems.

The Arduino Mega Microcontroller boards such as Arduino UNO, Arduino Nano, Arduino Leonardo, and Arduino Pro Mini have revitalized the Automation Industry with their sheer simplicity and easy-to-use interface.
