The Arduino Mega 2560 is a very powerful EZB microcontroller. The high number of pins and hardware peripherals makes it a multitasking monster. With the high number of ports, you can use 8 ADC, 13 PWM, 21 Digital ports, and 24 Servos at the same time!

ADC Ports

ARC has the ability to select up to 8 ADC ports per EZB. The MEGA has 8 ADC capable ports mapped to the ARC ADC ports starting from ADC0 to ADC7... 

(ARC Left, Arduino Right)
  ADC0 = A0,
  ADC1 = A1,
  ADC2 = A2,
  ADC3 = A3,
  ADC4 = A4,
  ADC5 = A5,
  ADC6 = A6,
  ADC7 = A7

PWM Ports

ARC has the ability to select up to 24 PWM ports per EZB. The MEGA has 13 PWM capable ports mapped to the ARC PWM ports starting from D0 to D12... 

(ARC Left, Arduino Right)
  D0 = 2,
  D1 = 3,
  D2 = 4,
  D3 = 5,
  D4 = 6,
  D5 = 7,
  D6 = 8,
  D7 = 9,
  D8 = 10,
  D9 = 13,
  D10 = 44,
  D11 = 45,
  D12 = 46

Digital Ports

ARC has the ability to select up to 24 Digital ports per EZB. Digital ports also operate as bit-bang serial/uart (transmit only). The MEGA has 21 Digital capable ports mapped to the ARC Digital ports starting from D0 to D20... 

(ARC Left, Arduino Right)
  D0 = 2,
  D1 = 3,
  D2 = 4,
  D3 = 5,
  D4 = 6,
  D5 = 7,
  D6 = 8,
  D7 = 9,
  D8 = 10,
  D9 = 11,
  D10 = 12,
  D11 = 13,
  D12 = 44,
  D13 = 45,
  D14 = 46,
  D15 = 62,
  D16 = 63,
  D17 = 64,
  D18 = 65,
  D19 = 66,
  D20 = 67

Servo Ports

ARC has the ability to select up to 24 Servo ports per EZB. The MEGA has 24 Servo capable ports mapped to the ARC Servo ports starting from D0 to D23... 

(ARC Left, Arduino Right)
  D0 = 22,
  D1 = 23,
  D2 = 24,
  D3 = 25,
  D4 = 26,
  D5 = 27,
  D6 = 28,
  D7 = 29,
  D8 = 30,
  D9 = 31,
  D10 = 32,
  D11 = 33,
  D12 = 34,
  D13 = 35,
  D14 = 36,
  D15 = 37,
  D16 = 38,
  D17 = 39,
  D18 = 40,
  D19 = 41,
  D20 = 42,
  D21 = 43,
  D22 = 68,
  D23 = 69,

I/O Port Expansion Board

Because the Arduino is merely a bunch of pins, it is nice to have a break-out shield board that has I/O expansion. This allows easier connecting of servos and sensors to the Mega. The break-out shield we recommend is the KEYESTUDIO Mega Sensor Shield V1 for Arduino Mega R3 Board 2560.

That’s correct - some overlap. And that shield might only go that high. It wasn’t designed but us so we don’t have control over the design, unfortunately

Thanks DJ.

i miss the days when you and your team designed the hardware.:(

@merne I'm still designing hardware for EZ-Robot!:D

I'm working on the release schedule at the moment. We hope to have new products consistently rolling out on an ongoing basis.

#20  

Sweet! @ Jeremie. I can’t wait to see what you and your team come up with.  They should be awesome.

I’m going to us the Arduino mega 2560 to run my base motors and ultrasonic sensors for my Inmoov for now.

I look forward to seeing whats coming soon. I am looking to see is any new sensors will be able to added. I was even looking at possibly adding an arduino as a add-on to the EZB.

@Jeremie, I have a EZ-Robot HD servo question. Is it OK to ask you here in this forum if I start a new post? I sent a couple questions to them in the near past and got no answers back.

Hi Dave,

The best course of action would be to contact EZ-Robot directly about hardware related questions. I believe that there was an issue with the Contact Us page on the EZ-Robot website, it’s being corrected.

You can always verify if EZ-Robot has received your correspondence using the Live Chat.
