Microcontroller: ATmega+2560 Operating Voltage: 5V ; Input: Voltage (recommended):7-9V Digital I/O Pins: 54 (of which 15 provide PWM output) Analog Input Pins: 16 DC Current per I/O Pin: 40 mA ; DC Current for 3.3V Pin: 50 mA Flash Memory: 256 KB of which 8 KB used by bootloader SRAM: 8 KB EEPROM: 4 KB Clock Speed: 16 MHz LED_BUILTIN: 13 Length: 101.5 mm Width: 53.3 mm Weight: 34 g

Besides the 54 digital I/O pins and 16 analog inputs, it also has 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It provides everything needed to support the micro-controller. You will simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

The ATmega+2560 on the Elegoo Mega comes preprogrammed with a bootloader that allows you to upload new code to it without the use of an external hardware programmer. The Mega R3 has a re-settable fuse that protects your computer’s USB ports from shorts and over-current. Although most computers provide their own internal protection, the fuse provides an extra layer of protection. If more than 500 MA is applied to the USB port, the fuse will automatically break the connection until the short or overload is removed.

The ATmega+2560 of ELEGOO Mega R3 Controller Board has 256 KB of flash memory for storing code (of which 8 KB is used for the bootloader), 8 KB of Spram and 4 KB of EEPROM (which can be read and written with the Eeprom library).

The ELEGOO Mega R3 can be powered via the 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.



Due to the no battery policy the original battery from the kit was removed(without which 4-5 tutorials may not be used normally). If you need it, please purchase the battery separately from other places

What about novice users who don’t have any electronics knowledge? Fear not amigo. Just follow our tutorial enclosed and step by step you will come to realize that learning electronics is more fun than you ever expected with this amazing sensor kit. It’s a good choice and perfect gift for your friends, family or kids who are obsessed with electronics or robotics to take their first steps on electronics journey!

The most complete starter Kit with high quality components and sensors
Quantity and quality are both important here in Elegoo MEGA starter kit. The most essential parts in this kit are MEGA controller board and expansion board, which is a perfect clone with excellent product finish Compatible with Arduino projects. Besides, we offer other over 60 kinds of components and sensors from small parts like LED diodes, resistors and potentiometer to big parts like LCD1602, RFID module and 830 tie-points breadboard, which meet your demands for your different projects either it is simple or complex. Sturdy quality is definitely the most important thing to Elegoo even with so many components provided we never compromised on the quality. Instead we keep improving our product quality in our own factory and we produce the products by ourselves under high standards and strict quality control. Pins and wires on some of the parts like LCD16502 and motors have been pre-soldered which is very convenient and saves your time.

LCD1602 Display module
LCD1602 module is a display that has an LED backlight and can display two rows with up to 16 characters on each row. You can see the rectangles for each character on the display and the pixels that make up each character. The display is just white on blue and is intended for showing text. Lining up the display with the top of the breadboard helps to identify its pins without too much counting, especially if the breadboard has its rows numbered with row 1 as the top row of the board. Do not forget, the long yellow lead that links the slider of the pot to pin 3 of the display. The ‘pot’ is used to control the contrast of the display.

DC Motors and L293D Transistor
In this project you will learn how to control a small DC motor using a Mega board and a L293D transistor, which is a very useful chip. It can actually control two motors independently. We are just using half the chip in this lesson, most of the pins on the right hand side of the chip are for controlling a second motor. L293D is quadruple high-current half-H drivers and designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is also designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications.

74HC595 Shift Register and LEDs
74HC595 is a Serial to Parallel Converter which has eight outputs (perfect) and three inputs that you use to feed data into it a bit at a time. This chip makes it a little slower to drive the LEDs (you can only change the LEDs about 500,000 times a second instead of 8,000,000 a second) but it’s still really fast, way faster than humans can detect, so it’s worth it! 74HC595 shift register is a type of chip that holds what can be thought of as eight memory locations, each of which can either be a 1 or a 0. To set each of these values on or off, we feed in the data using the ‘Data’ and ‘Clock’ pins of the chip.
