Arduino Mega
About the Arduino Mega PCB
Arduino Mega is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by axello, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 36.1 × 53.3 mm, with 13 components from 11 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the Arduino Mega POWER, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the RXB6_RCV and RXB6_XMIT. By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 antennas and 1 jumper.
It belongs with the sensors and iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

Arduino Mega: common questions
What microcontroller does the Arduino Mega use?
The Arduino Mega is built around the Arduino Mega POWER, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Arduino Mega PCB?
The Arduino Mega measures 36.1 × 53.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Arduino Mega?
13 components, from 11 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Arduino Mega design files?
From the axello/kicad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Arduino Mega design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with axello. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Arduino Mega without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
