Compatibility
The board works directly with the Arduino IDE (select ‘Arduino Mega 2560’). Its 5V logic and standard Mega footprint accept most Arduino shields. It pairs well with relay boards, motor drivers, LCD keypad shields, and any module needing abundant I/O.
Wiring Notes
Use a USB cable for programming and basic power. For external supplies, connect 7–12V to the barrel jack or VIN pin. Each I/O pin can source up to 40 mA; keep total current draw below 200 mA to protect the voltage regulator.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with the Arduino IDE?
Yes, it is fully recognized. Choose ‘Arduino Mega 2560’ from the Boards menu to start programming.
What is the maximum current per I/O pin?
40 mA per pin, but the total for all pins should stay under 200 mA to avoid damage.
Can I power the board through USB only?
Yes, USB supplies 5V directly to the board, suitable for programming and light loads. For higher current applications, use a 7–12V external adapter.
