Description


thumb

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


thumb

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.

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:


thumb


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.


thumb


Click “OK” to enter the following page and click “browse my computer for driver software”.


thumb


There is a DRIVERS folder in Arduino software installed package. Open this driver folder and check the driver of CP210X series chips.



thumb


Select this file and then click OK to install the driver.


thumb


When opening the device manager, we will find the yellow exclamation mark disappear. The driver of CP2102 is installed successfully.
