The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560 with 16 MHz tank frequency. It has 54 digital inputs and outputs, 16 analog inputs, four serial interfaces and a USB connection. The necessary components for programming and operation of the microcontroller are provided on the board. Simply connect the board to your PC and develop exciting applications. Power can be supplied via micro-USB, an external power supply unit or batteries. Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. The aim of this platform is to enable artists, designers, hobbyists and other interested parties to create interactive objects. Sensors and microcontrollers are used to make analog inputs available to software applications and/or control electromechanical devices such as motors, servos, LEDs or other hardware.
