The power source is selected automatically.Įxternal (non-USB) power can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery.

The Arduino Mega can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply.

In future, shields will be compatible both with the board that use the AVR, which operate with 5V and with the Arduino Due that operate with 3.3V.

#Arduino mega2560 update#
The Mega 2560 is an update to the Arduino Mega, which it replaces. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
#Arduino mega2560 serial#
It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 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. The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560 ( datasheet).
