Arduino Leonardo vs Arduino Mega

Does the Arduino Mega have keyboard/mouse functions like the Arduino Leonardo?

    You are right on this point: The leonardo uses the Atmega32u4 which has embedded usb support. That is an exception though, since all the other 8bit arduinos need an additional usb/uart chip to upload/communicate…

    Doesn't make any difference since it is just basic HID device communication.

    More on this link Communicating Arduino with HID devices. Part 1 « Circuits@Home

    Hope it helped, feel free to ask for more details.

    Thanks.

    In the link he uses a Arduino library that makes any Arduino a HID!

    What i meant was does it have the keyboard/mouse functions without a library.

    On the Arduino Leonardo The library is built in.

    I looked up the Arduino Mega 2560 it does'nt have the HID functions the Arduino Mega ADK has the HID functions!

     

    Thanks

    The ATMEGA U16x are the ones used on most UNO boards etc to provide the USB functionality
