Arduino MEGA: bigger and powerful

16 04 2009

The Arduino Mega is a microcontroller board based on theATmega1280. 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 (really).

The Mega is compatible with most of the shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecemilia and it has an impressive 128Kb of Flash Memory, and 8Kb of RAM. This baby rocks. With all the simplicity and powerful features of the Arduino language, you can communicate with remote hosts using ZigBee, received data from a GPS connection and use another serial port to control a LCD.

Are you hearing that groovy sound? It’s the next All Terrain Arduino based robot. We already started to cook our new summer toy ;)
