The Mega 2560 Revision 3 features an onboard USB port for easy programming and debugging, making it the perfect choice for your next project. Working on Arduino Mega 2560 projects is made easier with the Mega 2560 core, an Arduino-compatible platform that makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. When you're ready to start working on your next electronics project, consider using the Arduino Mega 2560 Revision microcontroller board.

It's also compatible with all Arduino shields that work with the Arduino Uno and Duemilanove. This board can be powered via a USB connection or an external power supply, either from an AC-to-DC adapter or battery. If you're looking for a microcontroller board designed to help develop electronics projects that can interact with the real world, the Mega 2560 project board is the perfect solution.
