Arduino Mega (2560)

If you have dreams of a massive Arduino based project, or simply don't want to worry about running out of pins, then the Mega is perfect for you. With more than 4 times as many digital pins. Twice as many analog input pins and twice as many PWM compatible pins you should be all right. It is also compatible with most pre-existing Arduino Shields

The upgraded Arduino Mega 2560 board packages all the lovely features of the previous Mega plus a bevy of improvements. Including faster code transfer and no need for additional drivers.
