About the Arduino Mega PCB

Arduino Mega is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by metacollin, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 101.6 × 53.3 mm, with 13 components from 7 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_1pin, from the AVR/Arduino family.

From the project

Everything you always wanted.

The schematic and 3D libraries supported by KiCad team.

The footprint libraries are the .pretty repos themselves and are used online by default. If you want to download them locally, the library-repos-install.bat and library-repos-install.sh scripts in the KiCad source can do this automatically.

Arduino Mega: common questions

What microcontroller does the Arduino Mega use?

The Arduino Mega is built around the Arduino_1pin, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Arduino Mega PCB?

The Arduino Mega measures 101.6 × 53.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Arduino Mega?

13 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Arduino Mega design files?

From the metacollin/kicad-gigalib 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?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which metacollin chose for the repository.

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.
