Use of additional i/o ports in Arduino Mega I'm a newbie in Arduino and I bought an Arduino Mega instead of the Uno. I want to know what the so-called additional i/o pins do. Are they the same with PWM and SPI? What can they do?
Additional I/O pins means more inputs and outputs. Therefore, you can have more signals. There are also some more specialized pins. For example, there are more PWM pins, more TX and RX pins for serial communication and more analog read pins.
