The Mega Arduino® is a microcontroller board with 256 KB memory and the ability to transmit data to various devices. It has 54 digital input/output pins, 16 analog input pins, and can be powered by USB, battery, or AC/DC adapter. It can be purchased or built with prerequisite knowledge of electronics and the Arduino® platform. It is cost-effective, beginner-friendly, and works with various operating systems. The prototype modeling is released under a Creative Commons license.
A Mega Arduino® is a type of microcontroller board in the Arduino® product group. Other types of Arduino® on the market are Arduino Mini®, Arduino Nano®, Arduino Fio®, Arduino Pro® and Arduino Pro Mini®. All of these boards, including the Mega Arduino®, connect to a computer terminal and are used to control and manipulate the external environment. The special properties of the Mega Arduino® include its large 256 KB memory and its ability to transmit data to a variety of devices.
In terms of physical attributes of the Mega Arduino®, properties include 54 digital input and output pins, 16 analog input pins, and an oscillator. It connects to the computer via a USB port. This will typically be the primary source powering the microcontroller, but other options for power are a battery or an AC/DC adapter.
The memory storage in the Mega Arduino® is particularly impressive. Overall it contains 256 KB of memory. Another benefit of this microcontroller is its ability to transmit data to a computer, a microcontroller of a different brand, or another Arduino® that is not necessarily the same brand.
This device can be purchased in specialized electronics stores or online. For those who like to try their hand at electronics projects, it is also possible to make a Mega Arduino® yourself. Tutorials can be found online for building, but it should be noted that prerequisite knowledge of electronics and the Arduino® platform is required for such projects. Once a Mega Arduino® has been purchased or built, getting started with it is as easy as plugging it into a computer and downloading the appropriate software for the Mega model. The software can be downloaded for free online.
It should come as no surprise that with all the technology products on the market there are many other microcontrollers that can be purchased under different brand names. Choosing the Mega Arduino® is a good decision for several reasons. For one thing, the cost is low, coming in at around $50 from most suppliers and even less than that for people buying parts to assemble themselves. Using this microcontroller model is as simple as it is for beginners and works with a variety of operating systems. Since the prototype modeling is released under a Creative Commons license, it is possible for tech-savvy users to work in and out of the original microcontroller as a means of learning without risk of legal trouble.
