DFRobot DFRduino Mega1280 - High-Performance Fully Arduino Mega Compatible Microcontroller Development Board For Advanced Projects

Description:

The DFRduino Mega1280 is a robust and versatile microcontroller platform built around the powerful ATmega1280. This board offers a substantial array of features, making it an excellent choice for various projects. It boasts an impressive 54 digital input/output pins, providing ample connectivity for numerous digital components and sensors. For analog sensing and control, it incorporates 16 analog input pins, enabling precise measurement of analog signals.

Communication capabilities are well-covered with four independent UARTs (hardware serial ports), facilitating reliable serial data exchange with various peripherals. The onboard 16 MHz crystal oscillator ensures accurate and stable timing for demanding applications. Programming and communication are streamlined through a convenient USB connection, and power can be supplied flexibly via the power jack, a USB cable, or an external battery. An ICSP header is also included for advanced programming and debugging. A readily accessible reset button allows for easy system restarts.

A significant advantage of the DFRduino Mega1280 is its pre-installed bootloader, which enables direct program uploading via the USB connection. This eliminates the need for external programmers, simplifying the development process for both beginners and experienced users.

The board is designed for immediate usability; simply connect it to your computer with a USB cable or provide power through an AC-to-DC adapter or battery, and you're ready to begin your project. Its generous 128KB of FLASH memory positions it as a capable alternative to the Arduino MEGA2560 in many intermediate and less resource-intensive applications.
