### Example 1: Blinking LED using Digital Output
In this example, we will use the Arduino MEGA 2560 to blink an LED connected to digital pin 13.
```cpp
const int ledPin = 13;  // Choose a digital pin for the LED
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  // Set the pin as an output
}
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // Turn the LED on
  delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
  delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second
}
```
### Example 2: Reading Analog Input from a Sensor
In this example, we will use the Arduino MEGA 2560 to read the analog input from a potentiometer connected to analog pin A0.
```cpp
const int sensorPin = A0;  // Choose an analog pin for the sensor
int sensorValue = 0;  // Variable to store the sensor value
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);  // Initialize the serial communication
}
void loop() {
  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);  // Read the sensor value
  Serial.print("Sensor value: ");
  Serial.println(sensorValue);  // Print the sensor value to the serial monitor
  delay(100);  // Wait for 100 milliseconds
}
```
### Example 3: Serial Communication using UART
In this example, we will use the Arduino MEGA 2560 to send a string to a serial terminal using UART.
```cpp
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);  // Initialize the serial communication
}
void loop() {
  Serial.println("Hello, world!");  // Send a string to the serial terminal
  delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second
}
```
