Quality


This product is exactly as described and you cant beat the quality for the price


Works great in my custom 3d printer


I didnt have any quality problems with the board or usb cable


But that only confused me more about why i couldnt communicate with the bootloader

Price


This board worked great for my application and at a very good price


I ordered 4 of these because the price was right at 11


So i guess the price jumps around quite a bit

Shipping


However shipping seemed a bit less that i expected as it was sent in a soft pouch mailer instead of a cardboard box

Packaging/appearance


The units appear well made but the stackable headers have slight misalignment probably because of the poor packaging for shipment


One didnt work out of the bag

Competitiveness


I used this to build a smart sprinkler timer with smartthings integration


Works just like my official arduino board and a fraction of the cost


I needed more gpio than the uno board could provide so i purchased this mega

    At first though i had difficulties getting this board to program


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i then dug out my usbasp programmer to connect directly to the ispjtag pins instead of going through the onboard usb and bootloader


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    At least the one on this board matched the official one


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The solution was that i needed to tell avrdude to use the stk500v2 protocol instead of arduino protocol by setting avrdude ard programmer to stk500v2 in the makefile


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I made that change and presto it talks flawlessly over the bootloader and onboard usb interface


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The bootloader on the uno and promini boards use the arduino protocol but this mega2560 board needs the stk500v2 protocol so be sure to properly set that
