+title: Getting Started with Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3
+description: A step-by-step guide to get started with the Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3.
+author: Jacob Hylén
+tags: [Mega 2560 Rev3, Installation, IDE]
+---
+
+To use the [Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3](hardware/mega-2560/) board, you will need the Arduino AVR Board Package, which comes pre-installed with the IDE.
+
+You will need a version of the Arduino IDE, which you can download from the [Arduino Software page](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software). In this guide, we will use the latest version of the IDE 2.
+
+## Software & Hardware Needed
+
+- [Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3](https://store.arduino.cc/products/arduino-mega-2560-rev3)
+- [Arduino IDE](/software/ide-v2)
+
+***You can also use the [Cloud Editor](https://create.arduino.cc/editor) which comes with all Arduino boards pre-installed.*** 
+
+## Download & Install IDE
+
+1. First, we need to download the Arduino IDE, which can be done from the [Arduino Software page](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/).
+2. Install the Arduino IDE on your local machine.
+3. Open the Arduino IDE.

+
+## Board Package
+
+The [Arduino Core for AVR devices](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr) comes pre-installed with the IDE, so no additional installation is necessary to get started. To use a different version than the latest, open the "Board Manager" from the left-hand menu. Search for AVR and install the version you want to use.

+
+You should now be able to select your board in the board selector. You will need to have your board connected to your computer via the USB-B connector at this point.

+
+Congratulations, your board is now ready to be used via the Arduino IDE.
+
+## Compile & Upload Sketches
+
+To compile and upload sketches, you can use the:
+- **Checkmark** for compiling code.
+- **Right arrow** to upload code.
+
+There are several examples available for the Mega 2560 Rev3 board, which can be accessed directly in the IDE, through **File > Examples**. These examples can be used directly without external libraries.

+
+## Summary
+
+In this tutorial we prepared the Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3 to be used with the Arduino IDE.
+
+For any issues regarding the Arduino AVR board package, please refer to the [Arduino Core for AVR devices](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr).
