It’s no surprise that for larger projects with many peripherals or heavy GPIO requirements, the Arduino Mega is a popular choice for an electronics device. Since it is one of the premiere Arduino platform dev boards and from the same microcontroller family as the even more ubiquitous UNO, transitioning to it from other Arduino projects is a breeze. Learning how to work with the Mega is no different than working with smaller Arduino boards. However, as with all dev board prototypes, there comes a time when the breadboard project needs to be taken to a scalable, manufacturable product. This article
