My New Toys!!!

[Oneslowz28]

Just received my Seeeduino Mega (http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/seeeduino-mega-fully-assembled-p-438.html). Its sort of an Arduino Mega clone but with more I/O broken out and a few extra features like 3.3v or 5.5v operation, and lots of Uart connections.


70 Digital I/O Pins 14 of which are PWM
16 Analog I/O Pins
3 Uart Ports
Same Size as Seeeduino / Arduino Duemilanove
Standard Arduino Shield Compatible


Seeed Sent me a seeeduino mega shield along with it. The shield was tedious to solder. Took me about an hour to properly align everything and make sure it stayed aligned while I soldered.

Soooo... what are you gonna do with it? :D

[Oneslowz28]

I dunno yet. Its mostly for deving right now. Its too expensive of a board ($50) to just toss in a project and leave.

unless it was some kind of CRAZY project - like making your car remote-controlled :D

Actually you only need a normal arduino to do that!

sorry, I forgot to mention the articulating doors, trunk and roof that reveal 007-like gadgets :D :whistler:

Note to self: When you get a car make it remote controllable.
