Description of Arduino Mega 2560
The Arduino Mega 2560 is a powerful microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It is designed for more complex projects that require a higher number of input/output pins, more memory, and enhanced processing power. The board is ideal for applications such as robotics, automation, and large-scale IoT projects.

With 54 digital I/O pins, 16 analog inputs, and 4 hardware serial ports (UARTs), the Arduino Mega 2560 provides extensive connectivity options. It operates at 5V and supports both SPI, I2C, and Serial communication, making it compatible with a wide range of sensors, modules, and shields.

Like other Arduino boards, the Mega 2560 is programmed using the Arduino IDE via a USB connection. It is an open-source hardware platform, allowing developers to modify and expand its functionality according to their project needs.
