Arduino MEGA Educational Kit

This is ABRA's very own Arduino Mega 2560 Educational Kit, a comprehensive instructional package which contains a ton of components with an online pdf manual to explain how each component interacts with the included Arduino MEGA. The kit contains all the pieces needed to complete 33 lessons in the 200 page manual. Components come in a sturdy plastic case.

Unlike almost all Arduino Educational Kits out there, this kit comes with a Power Supply with UL and CSA approval, which is a requirement for many schools.

What makes this Arduino MEGA 2560 so unique is that it does not require an FTDI driver USB-to-Serial driver chip. Instead, it features the ATmega16U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter which makes it very easy to use and upload new programs. Unlike the inexpensive Arduino Uno which uses the CH340 Chipset that you can find on some online retail websites, this one offers no hassle or additional drivers to run. An excellent choice for beginners so they invest themselves much more in the coding and less on the driver configurations..
