Communication between 2 arduino boards
Pin 53 is just the default &quot;slave select&quot; pin. There is nothing special about it. You can use any other pin as slave select, as long as the libraries for your devices allow it (check the documentation and tutorials for those libraries).
You cannot transmit information with analogWrite() since it isn't really analogue (it's PWM), and analogue doesn't have enough definition for reliably representing more than a handful of discrete values anyway.
