Mega 2560 Pro Mini
The Mega 2560 Pro Mini offers the same 70 IO pins as the Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3, but in a smaller package. If you need many IO pins, this is the recommended board to use.
Warning
Many lower-cost Mega 2560 Pro Mini boards, particularly those purchased from AliExpress, use the CH340G chip for serial communication to the PC. These chips are frequently counterfeit and require additional driver installation.
Purchasing a Mega 2560 Pro Mini from the MobiFlight Shop ensures you will get a board with genuine chips.
