The Mega 2560 is an open-source microcontroller board based on ATmega2560. Along with this, it also has 54 digital I/O pins, 16 Analog Inputs, 4 UARTs, ICSP Header, 16 MHz Crystal Oscillator, a reset button, USB port, and a DC Power Jack. It is designed for projects which require more I/O lines, more sketch memory, and more RAM. It is best suited for Robotics, 3D printers, RC planes, etc. projects which require many sensors with different communication protocols and actuators to work in tandem. It gets programmed with the help of Arduino IDE and you do not need to attach any other components to program them. Its uses include in DIY projects, IoT based projects, Robotics, Prototyping for Electronic components and systems. The Arduino Microcontroller boards such as UNO, Nano, Leonardo, Pro Mini have revitalized the Automation Industry with their sheer simplicity and easy to use interface.
