Hi Guys,
I want to build a landing gear lever for the boeing 777. I saw your video, In the video you are using a arduinio Mega 2560 rev3. its to expensiv for me does the Arduino Mega 2560 Pro Mini also works? Thanks

Original Mega 2560 Rev3 is expensive. You can get a clone with CH340 chip which is here used by many people.
Mega 2560 Pro Mini (with CH340) has exactly the same functionality as Mega 2560 Rev3 and its clones..
The only difference is much smaller footprint.

Elegoo, which is a reputable brand, sells the Mega R3 for 21 USD, which is not too bad.

Ok thank you so i have the same functions also the LEDs?

Yes, it should work the same as the original Mega 2560 R3.

I bought from here, multiple Mega2560 R3 and Mega Pro Mini
never had a problem with them

Yes, it should work the same as the original Mega 2560 R3.
but does it work with the mobi flight software cause i looked up what devices are supportet and there aronly arduinos in there

I bought around 20 board s from this store

never had a problem with them
ok thanks does it works with the mobi flight software too?

it is exactly what I wrote in my first message - those are clones and they work fine. 🙂
These are clones because Arduino boards are open source so everyone can make them.

ah ok thanks its my first self made thing so i dont know a lot about these boards

there are board on Aliexpress or Amazon that are problematic becaue they have counterfeit CH340 chip which is used instead of other chip on original Arduino Mega boards.
However, I got ~20 boards from the store I linked above and all were legit and working jut fine
Yeah, I understand it might be overwhelming

yeah my father swears on ali express so thats not a problem for me also 11 dollars are really good

Yeah, I second Marek’s store recommendation. I also bought Arduino Megas from them and never had a problem. Just my preference though, get the one with the USB Type B connector. I found that the USB C or Micro USB connectors tend to break off easily.
