MEGA 2560 R3 Board compatible with Arduino

MEGA 2560 R3 BOARD COMPATIBLE WITH ARDUINO

The MEGA 2560 R3 CH340G Board is a micro-controller board base on the ATmega2560. It has a USB host interface to connect with Android-based phones, based on the MAX3421e IC.

The At Mega2560 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 MEGA ADK is based on the Mega 2560. Similar to the Mega 2560 and Uno, it features an ATmega8U2 program as a USB-to-serial converter. Revision 3 of the Mega ADK board has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to the ground, making it easier to put into DFU(Device Firmware Upgrade) mode.

NEW FEATURES OF THE MEGA2560 R3 BOARD

• The Mega2560 R3 board features a 1.0 pinout with an added SDA and SCL pins near the AREF pin. It also features two new pins located near the RESET pin. They allow mega2560 shields to adapt to the voltage provided by the board.
• The At Mega2560 development board also features a stronger RESET circuit.

The AT Mega2560 Arduino R3 board is an Android Accessory Development Kit (ADK) that can be powered via a USB connection or with an external power supply. The power source is selected automatically. External (non-USB) power can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery. The adapter can be connected by plugging a 2.1mm center-positive plug into the board’s power jack.

Leads from a battery can be inserted in the GND and Vin pin headers of the POWER connector. Because the Mega R3 Android Accessory Development Kit (ADK) is a USB Host, the phone will attempt to draw power from it when it needs to charge. When the ADK is powered over USB, 500mA total is available for the phone and board.
