Geekcreit® MEGA 2560 R3 ATmega2560-16AU MEGA2560 Development Board With USB Cable (Arduino Mega)
Arduino compatible R3 Mega2560 ATmega2560-16AU control board with USB cable

Arduino Mega is an ATmega2560 core microcontroller development board. Itself has 54 digital input/output terminals (14 PWM outputs), 16 simulation inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), using the 16 MHz crystal oscillator. With the bootloader, download the program directly via USB without having to go through other external writers. Supply part of the optional USB power, or external power using a AC-to-DC adapter and battery.

Rapid growth due to open original code, as well as the concept of using Java (cross-platform) C language development environment for Arduino module. The Arduino can easily use the Arduino language with Flash or Processing ... software communication, to make multimedia interactive works. Arduino development IDE interface is based on open-source principles, allows you to download for use in projects.

Power supply design

There are two options for the power supply system of the Arduino Mega. USB direct power supply or external power supply. The power supply will be switched automatically. External supply AC-to-DC adapter or the battery can be selected on this control panel. Limit the voltage range of 6V ~~ 12V, but if the voltage supplied is less than 6V, I / O port may not be supplied to a voltage of 5V, and therefore not stable; If the voltage is greater than 12V, the regulator device may possibly overheat and damage the Arduino MEGA. It is therefore recommended that for the operating supply of 6.5 ~ 12V, the recommended power supply is 7.5V or 9V.

The development board have been rigorously tested at the factory.

Pimoroni Explorer HAT PRO (Explorer hat pro)

Please note: Raspberry Pi not included

The Explorer HAT and Explorer HAT Pro are the perfect prototyping side-kicks for your Raspberry Pi!

We've added a heap of useful input and output options that will take your projects to the next level. Great for driving motors, using analog sensors, interfacing with 5V systems, and touch (even fruit based!) interfaces.

It's compatible with Raspberry Pi 2, Pi 3, B , and A and comes fully assembled.

Features:

  • Four buffered 5V tolerant inputs
  • Four powered 5V outputs (up to 500mA!)
  • Four capacitive touch pads
  • Four capacitive crocodile clip pads
  • Four coloured LEDs
  • PRO ONLY Four analog inputs
  • PRO ONLY Two H-bridge motor drivers
  • PRO ONLY A heap of useful (unprotected) 3v3 goodies from the GPIO
  • A mini breadboard on top!

5V tolerant inputs - Hook up your Pi to accept input from 5V systems (like Arduino Uno/Leonardo or 5V Trinkets). We've used a 5-channel buffer that will accept anything from 2V-5V as logic high.

5V powered ouputs - The onboard darlington array can supply up to 500mA per channel (but you'll be limited to driving around 1A total from the board). Ideal for stepper motors, solenoids, and relays.

Eight capacitive inputs - Four along the front edge for touch input (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) and four up the side for attaching crocodile clips to objects (such as fruit, or tin foil) for experimentation!

Four coloured LEDs - Independently controllable LEDs (red, green, blue, and yellow) that make great status indicators.

Four analog inputs (pro only) - A tidy way to integrate analog signals into your project.

Two H-Bridge motor drivers (pro only) - Drive two 5V motors bidirectionally with up to 200mA per channel. Ideal with our micro-metal gear-motors to create the perfect little buggy! You can even soft-PWM for full speed control.

Adafruit ADS1015 12-Bit ADC (ADS1015 12-Bit ADC)
The Raspberry Pi does not feature an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), so if you want to measure analogue singals, you'll need this 12-Bit ADC!

The Adafruit 4-Channel I2C 12-Bit ADC is a high-precision ADC and features the ADS1015 chip, which provides 12-bit precision at 3300 samples/second over I2C. The chip can be configured as 4 single-ended input channels, or two differential channels. As a nice bonus, it even includes a programmable gain amplifier,with up to x16, to help boost smaller single/differential signals to the full range. We like this ADC because it can run from 2V to 5V power/logic, can measure a large range of signals and its super easy to use. It is a great general purpose 12 bit converter. 

The chip's fairly small so it comes on a breakout board with ferrites to keep the AVDD and AGND quiet and interfacing is done via I2C. The address can be changed to one of four options (see the datasheet table 5 in downloads below) so you can have up to 4 ADS1015's connected on a single 2-wire I2C bus for 16 single ended inputs. 
 
To get you started, we have example code for the Raspberry Pi - Simply connect GND to ground, VDD to your logic power supply, and SCL/SDA to your microcontroller's I2C port and run the example code to start reading data.
 
The Adafruit 4-Channel I2C 12-Bit ADC Features:
  • Wide Supply Range: 2.0V to 5.5V
  • Low Current Consumption: Continuous Mode: Only 150µA Single-Shot Mode: Auto Shut-Down
  • Programmable Data Rate: 128SPS to 3.3kSPS
  • Internal Low-Drift Voltage Reference
  • Internal Oscillator
  • Internal PGA
  • I2C Interface: Pin-Selectable Addresses
  • Can run from 2V to 5V power/logic
  • Measures a large range of signals and is super easy to use.
  • 12-bit precision at 3300 samples/second over I2C.
  • Configurable as 4 single-ended input channels, or two differential channels.
  • Includes a programmable gain amplifier, up to x16, to help boost up smaller single/differential signals to the full range.
  • Breakout Board equipped with ferrites to keep the AVDD and AGND quiet
