So [Josh] did what any self-respecting hacker would do and built his little man a custom cyberdeck ... The guts of this are controlled via an Arduino Mega 2560, with copious amounts of hot ...

[uXe] is breaking out the cartridge connector onto an exceptionally wide rainbow ribbon cable, and bringing it into a custom Arduino Mega shield loaded up with two 16K dual-port RAM chips.

Developed by Funnyvale the new Perfuino Uno kit is available to pledge for from $16 and offers a development board measuring 4 x 2.1 inches in size, or roughly the size of an Arduino Mega board.

Meanwhile, the Arduino Mega is getting the same USB chip along with an ATMega2560 processor with twice the memory. Right now only 128K is available, but that's a software limitation and they're ...

Watch the video below to learn more about the slim lined version of the Arduino Mega that removes the bulkiness and “ugly bits” offering a smaller form factor for a wide variety of projects.

However, these two areas are where the Arduino Mega shines. It's built with 256 KB of flash memory and over 50 pins, perfect for managing larger and more demanding projects with multiple components.
