![]() Switching is maintained with OA as comparator for VIN and 3.3V. Arduino can be connected via USB and barrel jack at the same time and the power will be drained from the jack and it is switched to the USB right away after jack disconnecting. I've ordered a new Vin-regulator for replacement (there are some tutorials on that out there), but actually I don't think this will solve the problem for the USB-power-supply(?) (and therefore i did not find anything, neither how to replace it, nor where this one is placed on the PCB).Īrduino's automatic power supply-selection works as is described. I measured the Gate-Drain-Resistance and this is shortened for the external Vin-regulator, but in my opinion USB-powering should still work as normal. These two parts are even pictured in this schematic: If powered via Vin, this takes a little longer but in addition the power-regulator-transistor right above the Vin-Barrel-Connector gets hot as well. That way I apparently fried it and now it gets no longer recognized as an USB-Device and the small sqare-kind of chip (ATMEL Mega16U2 1440) on the right side next to the USB-socket gets really hot instantaniously, when I power it over USB-cable. Unfortunately it seems like it just stopped working (because as a newbie, I was trustful and naive enough to believe, that the arduino's automatic power supply-selection works as explained in the data sheet.) Repackaged in high quality resealable ESD bag for safe storage.Īnalog Input Pins (can also be used as digital I/O)ĭC Current which can be drawn from 3.Due to needing more PWM-Pins (to control three different 12V LED-Strips via Transistors) for my project, I switched from Arduino Uno to a Mega 2560 r3 instead.Powered up and the example program ‘Blinky’ which blinks the on-board LED once per second is downloaded to verify basic operation.Before they are shipped, these modules are: ![]() If you don’t want to worry about drivers, select our Mega 2560 R3 board with ATmega16U2 USB. Just search for Arduino CH340 driver and you will find a number of sources for drivers depending on what Windows or Mac operating system you are using. If you have any issues with connecting to the board, you may need to download a driver. The board uses the CH340 chip for USB communications. These are nice compatible assemblies with very good build quality. Refer the the Arduino documentation for all possible functions for the pins. The attached Mega 2560 board pin-out shows the most commonly used functions for the pins, but some pins can support other functions. Our 7.5V AC adapter works extremely well for powering these boards. Higher input voltages will cause the on-board regulator to work harder and may cause it to overheat. If an external supply is used, it is recommended to use a supply between 7-12V. The power source is selected automatically if both are available. The Mega 2560 operates at 5V which can be supplied via an external power supply or through the USB port connection. 16 Analog inputs that can also be used as digital I/O for a total of up to 70 digital I/O.Key Features of MEGA 2560 R3 with CH340 USB: Mega 2560 R3 with CH340 USB (Arduino Mega 2560 R3 compatible). ![]() The Mega 2560 R3 provides a large amount of I/O and memory and is ideal for larger projects Package Includes: The Mega 2560 R3 is an Arduino compatible board that uses the CH340 USB device for the lowest cost.
