How many pins does an Arduino Mega 2560 have?

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.

Is the Mega 2560 an ATMega microcontroller?

AVR The Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. 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.

What kind of power does an Arduino Mega use?

There are a couple of ways in which you can power the Mega board. The first and easy way is using the Type-B USB Connector. The next way is to provide an unregulated supply in the range of 6V to 20V to VIN pin of the Mega.

Which is better Arduino Mega or Uno 2560?

It is designed and developed to provide more number of IO lines (both Digital and Analog), more flash memory and more RAM when compared to UNO. So, if you are developing some advanced robotic projects or 3D Printing hardware and want to use the Arduino environment, then Arduino Mega 2560 is the board for you.

Is the Arduino Mega 2560 compatible with Atmel Studio?

My starting point was a fresh install of Atmel Studio (version 7.0.783) and the Arduino software (version 1.6.7) on a desktop PC running Windows 10 – and (of course) an Arduino Mega 2560 connected to the PC via USB, with it’s green power LED on.

Where is the ICSP header on an Arduino Mega?

Connect the 6 pin (3 × 2) header found at the other end of the ribbon cable to the ICSP header of the Arduino MEGA 2560. Make sure that the key that protrudes from the 6 pin connector at the end of the ribbon cable points towards the USB connector side of the Arduino MEGA.
