For anyone who has explored the world of Electronics, you will know that Arduino are famous in the hobbyist electronics scene, due to its high level of functionality, relatively powerful computing power, and of course the awesome value for money that revolutionised how we tinker in the modern age. However, while experimenting and tinkering on Arduino Boards is certainly some of the most fun you can have when prototyping new inventions and whacky gadgets, sometimes a small mistake can lead to a small disaster, and that’s why we always stock these Atmel ATMEGA2560-16AU chips, so that in case of such small disasters, you can simply replace the brain of the unit, rather than buying a whole new board.
In addition to being perfect replacement parts for faulty or broken Arduino Mega2560 Boards, these chips are also commonly used to build custom Arduino boards as well, since you technically don’t need a lot of the different components that are integrated onto the full-sized boards. As such, with just a handful of components, a breadboard, and this small but powerful MCU IC, you can create a truly personalised Arduino project that is not only discrete, but also designed perfectly to cater to your specific application without any unnecessary components or inefficiencies.
Offering an impressive 256KB Program Memory capacity for complex projects, 8KB of SRAM, 4KB of EEPROM and a massive 86 general purpose GPIO pin count, the Atmel ATmega2560-16AU is ready to deliver the power and speed for almost any small to medium scale electronics projects, and at a low cost for so many features, there are few other models that can quite compete with the sheer value for money this chip offers.
Please Note: If being used as a standalone MCU, rather than as a replacement part, it’s important to note that this board is quite difficult to flash, and may require a custom PCB to access all of the extremely tiny pins.
