Fishino MEGA is the second board of Fishino family. It’s a board 100% compatible with the famous Arduino MEGA, but with many add-ons which greatly enhance its capabilities.
Fishino MEGA can be powered by a single cell LiPo battery, which is automatically charged when an external power supply is available.
Main features:
100 % compatible with Arduino Mega
Fishino MEGA is based on Arduino platform, keeping all of its features and adding new ones. This guarantees that all Arduino’s shields and libraries will work with no changes on Fishino MEGA.
High performance switching power supply
All Fishino MEGA’s power supply stages are in high performance switching technology. You can power it by a LiPo battery, the USB connector or the external supply plug with a voltage range from 3.5 Volt to over 20 Volt without the thermal problems that are common to original Arduino MEGA boards, even when powered by just 12 Volt.
Can be powered by a single cell LiPo battery
Fishino MEGA has a battery supply module on board with charger for single cell LiPo batteries. It can be used for your mobile projects.
Integrated WiFi module
Fishino MEGA has a fast WiFi module on board, which firmware has been tailored by us. With Fishino you’ll be able to connect to an existing WiFi infrastructure or build your own one.
MicroSD interface on board
The ability to use a readly available microSD card brings Fishino the ability to work on big data sets, build small web servers and portable data loggers.
RTC module on board
The integration of an RTC (Real Time Clock) module with backup battery allows Fishino to keep correct time even in case of power failures.
Enhanced 3.3 Volt power supply
A careful selection of electronic components made possible the enhancement of 3.3 Volt supply circuits, which gives the ability to connect a greater number of shields and breakouts operating at this voltage.
Created by Speeko, the 3D printer frame kit offers an easy way to build an accurate 3D printer and provides everything you need to create a foundation on which you can build a reliable and accurate desktop 3D printer. “The Easy Frame is a machine frame for 3D printers, based of the measurements of the…
Most bench drills have a ruler to read the drilling depth. The greater the accuracy at which the desired position can be read, the greater the success of the job. In this project we see an alternative proposal: a display in which we see the drilling depth thanks to a gyroscopic sensor and an 8-digit…
Pete Prodoehl needed a way to test microswitches that he’d be using for an exhibit, so he decided to build his own setup with a counter, 3D-printed “pusher” and an Arduino Uno. When you’re testing the life span of a component made to work over and over, your testing components have to also be robust…
The Star Wars saga, created by George Lucas and started 40 years ago with the first Star Wars movie, has fascinated and somehow amused more than a generation; many successful movies have been proposed to the public in trilogies, the last of which being the sequel trilogy that gave us the first and most…
The Etch-A-Sketch was released by The Ohio Art Company in 1960. The popularity of the device is sort of interesting because it has lots of annoying problems: knobs only move the cursor up/down/left/right. Diagonals and curves require a steady precision that most children 3+ simply don’t have. you can’t draw two objects that are not…
Our friend Ezra Schwarz just released a new visual programming environment for Arduino, called Embrio. Embrio isn’t intended for simple and educational use or to simply allow anyone who is not skilled on programming to create and code its own Arduino application. Embrio is indeed a serious Arduino development tool for embedded and embodied…
