Finally, an Arduino Mega that is compact and has unsoldered headers for easy soldering onto your PCB boards. This embedded version of the Arduino Mega has the same functions as the Arduino Mega 2560. It has a CH340G IC for the USB interface.
Power can be supplied thru its MicroUSB or external power pins. The internal voltage regulator can accept voltage from 6V to 9V and provide a current of around 3.3mA.
QUICK SPECS:
- ATmega 2560 16 MHz
- USB-UART-CH340G interface 12 MHz
- input voltage: 6-9 V
- MicroUSB connection socket
- 70 digital I/O
- 16 Analog Pins
- 14 PWM
- 4 UART
