2 open source boards using the Arduino Mega

Real designs built with the Arduino Mega, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

The Arduino Mega in open source designs

The gallery holds 2 open source boards using the Arduino Mega from 2 GitHub repositories; a typical one measures about 487.7 × 192.5 mm and carries around 86 components.

50% are two-layer designs, the rest use four layers or more, and 0% carry an open source license.

Microcontrollers on boards using the Arduino Mega

What boards using the Arduino Mega are built for

Arduino Mega: common questions

Where can I find a Arduino Mega reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the Arduino Mega. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the Arduino Mega use?

Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1) and ESP8266 (1).

How big is a typical board using the Arduino Mega?

The median is 487.7 × 192.5 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the Arduino Mega?

By GitHub stars, Luminator-Flipdot-Display by tylerebowers, with 5 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the Arduino Mega before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
