Mega 1280 vs Mega 2560?
« on: April 26, 2015, 03:29:39 »
Hi,

basic non electronics person question...

The diagram for the mega connections I think shows the Mega 1280. Are the pin numbers the same as for a Mega 2560?

I have a Mega 2560 and have already managed to load Astroeq onto it, and it responds to Eqmod. I now have to hook up the 8825 stepper boards. Are the pin outs identical?

cheers

Hi Gary,

There is no difference between the 1280 and 2560 from a wiring point of view, just the bootloader on it (hence a separate entry in the configuration utility).

The schematic is the one in this thread:

But the same one is also here:

Under 'Option 1'.

Regards,
Tom.
