PCBway has an Arduino Mega file online in Eagle - [1]. Eagle to KiCad Conversion appears to be doable. An order of 100 boards appears to be $83 - so under a dollar per board.

Cost

At $10 or $11 - the Mega chip is expensive. Why? Good old capitalism. [2]

Power Draw

  • About 1/2W with no peripherals - [3]
