Kit Overview

The Arduino ADK is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560ATmega2560. It has a USB host interface to connect with Android based phones, based on the MAX3421eMAX3421e IC. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.

The ADK is based on the Mega 2560. Similar to the Mega 2560 and Uno, it features an ATmega8U2ATmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter. Revision 2 of the MegaADK board has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to ground, making it easier to put into DFU mode.

Arduino Mega Android Development Kit (A000069A000069) is the third revision of the Arduino Mega ADK (A000063). It has the following new features:

1.0 pinout: added SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin and two other new pins placed near to the RESET pin, the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In future, shields will be compatible both with the board that use the AVR, which operate with 5V and with the Arduino Due that operate with 3.3V. The second one is a not connected pin, that is reserved for future purposes.
Stronger RESET circuit.
