Overview

SunFounder Mercury board is totally compatible with the official Arduino Mega2560, with also ATmega2560 as the processor,the same Optiboot bootloaderas Uno.Also it has 54 digital I/Os pins, 16 analog inputs, 256KB program storage, 16MHz crystal oscillator, etc.
Features that make it unique: beautiful red PCB, parallel yellow and red pins, colorful design; uses FTDI232R for USB-to-serial; adopts Type-C, so far the only USB port that supports reversible plug orientation; all I/O ports with two pins (male and female), free to use -just plug Dupont wires regardless of M or F; adds a 5V power switch to control the board power, which may be expected by mass hobbyists (switch off the board when not in use, avoiding frequent plugging); reset button at the board side for convenience; Atmega2560 Microcontroller is packaged in patch which can save much space.
