Description
The core processor of this MEGA 2560 Smart development board is TMEGA2560-16AU which is compatible with the Arduino MEGA 2650 development board. Integrated with 2 TB6612 motor driving chips, this processor can be served as the solution to drive the 4WD Smart car .
In addition, the output power supply of this board can reach the maximum 5V 3A, in 3 channels (good heat dissipation).Through 2.54mm pins, most of the GPIO ports are extend out to facilitate external connection of sensors/ modules.
Specifications
The core processor of this development board is ATMEGA2560-16AU, together with the chip CP 2102 equipped it can serve as a UART - to - USB converter.
It boasts 54 digital I/O ports (12 designed for motors) of which 15 can be used an PWM output (4 for motors), 16 analog input ports, 4-channel serial communication ports (port 0 is for program burning), 16MHz quartz crystal, a USB interface , a power jack, a ICSP plug and a reset button. It supports all functions as a microcontroller. And connecting it to a computer with a USB cable, and powering it up through the external power (BAT power supply: DC 7-12V) are all needed to start using it.
Instructions
Download Arduino IDE
When getting this control board, we need to install Arduino IDE
Enter the website https://www.arduino.cc/， click 
and 
There are many versions of Arduino IDE suitable for Windows,Mac and Linux systems. You are free to select the version fit for you computer. Here we intend to take the Windows version as an example for installation instructions. As is shown in the below picture, there are two kind of loading for Windows version too. The Windows Win 7 and newer needs installing manually. Yet , the Windows ZIP file can be directly downloaded and installed.
They all operate well. Just choose the one you like to download to your computer.
Just click JUST DOWNLOAD can do the trick.You can also help its development with a donation.
Install Driver for Windows System
Let’s install the driver of MEGA 2560 Smart Development Board. The USB-TTL chip of 2560 Smart board adopts CP2102 serial chip.
Its driver files are included in the Arduino 1.8 version and above.
When the board is attached to the computer, the computer can recognize the driver of CP2102 automatically.
If it is installed unsuccessfully, you need to install it manually.
Click Computer----- Properties----- Device Manager, as shown below:
There is a yellow exclamation mark on the page, which implies the installation of the driver of CP2102 fails. Double-click to update the driver.
Click “OK” to enter the following page and click “browse my computer for driver software”.
There is a DRIVERS folder in Arduino software installed package. Open this driver folder and check the driver of CP210X series chips.
Select this file and then click OK to install the driver.
When opening the device manager, we will find the yellow exclamation mark disappear. The driver of CP2102 is installed successfully.
