Altogether, it’s a whole lot of functionality with a relatively low part count. Features include – 6-bit resistor DAC […]
A brand spankin’ new big brother to the Duemilanove, the first pic of a new Arduino board has surfaced. The Mega uses an ATmega1280 surface mount chip and offers a whole big bunch of new features – 128KB of Flash 4KB RAM 4KB EEPROM 53 IO 4 HW UARTs 14 PWMs I2C bus 16 Analog […]
