Technical summary
The Arduino Mega 2560 board is based on an ATMega2560 clocked at 16MHz. It has 54 I/Os including 14 PWM, 16 analog and 4 UARTs. It is ideal for applications requiring more complete features than the Uno. Connectors located on the outer edges of the printed circuit board allow a range of add-on modules to be plugged in.
It can be programmed with the Arduino software. The ATMega2560 controller contains a bootloader that allows the program to be modified without using a programmer. The software is available for free download.
