The Arduino IDE comes with the drivers for the ATmega16U2 and FT232 so usually you will only have troubles with that if you get one of the clone Arduino boards that use the CH340 (that's the cheapest of the three chips so it's quite common on the cheap clones).

#ARDUINO MEGA 2560 PIN 10 INSTALL#

Typically the only reason you will need to think about this chip is if you need to install the correct drivers for it in order for your board to be recognized by your computer. The most common are the FTDI FT232 (AKA 'FTDI') and the CH340. Other Arduino boards use chips that are specifically designed for this use. The ATmega16U2 is a microcontroller that has native USB capabilities so it can be programmed to act as a serial-USB bridge.

The computer then creates a virtual COM port that makes it seem like your board is connected to a serial port on your computer even though it's connected via USB. For this reason a separate chip is usually added to Arduino boards that acts as a bridge between the serial communication of the ATmega2560 and the USB of your computer. The ATmega2560 is a very nice microcontroller but it doesn't have any USB capabilities. Nowadays we use USB to connect devices to our computers. Serial.prinln()) but most computers these days don't have a true serial port.

The ATmega2560 uses serial communication for getting uploaded sketches and communication with the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor (e.g. the meaning of the little 'squares' on the upper right of Digital pin 2 till 13Īny answers on these three questions would be highly appreciated.If the SDA and SCL are indeed the digital 20 and 21 pins, then that would be ideal to me, can you confirm that i can use D20 and D21 as SDA and SCL pins. There is a print on the board that SDA is pin 20 and SCL is pin 21 but those pins are digital pins while on genuine arduino boards the SDA and SCl are analog pins (4 and 5) or seperate SDA and SCL pins. how do i / you know that those are them?Īs it is not printed on the board in a way that i understand it. Which 15 of the 54 digital pinouts are the PWM outputs, or basically. So i'm missing extensive pin out information one would get with a genuine arduino board like this. The Mega2560 Pro Mini board has all the IOs of Arduino Mega2560 R3, following are the parameters.ĭigital I/O Pins 54 (of which 15 provide PWM output)įlash Memory 256 KB of which 8 KB used by bootloader The pinout information i have i got from this site: The arduino part is only a small part of a (for me) large project of years now that i need to finish. all other work will be done in a few months or a year time, when i can research but for now i need the wires to be at the right place. So PLEASE, don't understand this as me being lazy to look it up! i'm just requesting an answer if you are already have the knowledge, i'm not asking others to do my work!! but im in a building stage and this information is needed to place the wires at the right pins, whicnh needs to be done now.

I'm looking for some 'basic' information on pinout for this particular board that i believe anyone with some basic understanding and experience with arduino and this particular board can answer, that i can not, not at the moment without intensive research, for which i do not have the time at the moment. please move one, i didn't post this to annoy. To anyone here that is annoyed that i'm asking a question on this board.
