Analog Shield

Is the Analog Shield compatible with the Arduino Mega?

Strictly speaking and for practical purposes, it is not compatible with the Arduino Mega.

 

It was designed for the Arduino Uno and the chipKIT Uno32, so while the shield would be able to physically connect to the Mega, signals that the IC's present on the Analog Shield are expecting to receive are mapped to different pins than what the shield would actually connect to.  

 

Let me know if you have any more questions.

What is the current sourcing capabilities of the analog shield?

 

Is the AFS 5V or 7.5 or both?

​I tried using a Mega2560. I confirm that it does not work with my simple ramp program I modified from an example. That program works with the Uno.  I had been looking forward to having more memory. 

Thanks.
