Arduino / Arduino Uno Pin configuration

Digital pins 14 Theses pins operate at 5V and 20mA to 40mA and these pins are used to connect to the external device.
Analog pins (A0 to A5.) 6

Arduino Mega


Arduino Pin Description
LED It comes with built-in LED connected through pin 13. Providing HIGH/ LOW value to the pin  will turn it ON / OFF.
Vin It is a 5V input / supply voltage pin to the Arduino Board through a USB port. USB (5V), Vin
(7V to 20V) pin, or DC power jack are the 3 ways to provide the power for the board. More voltage provided damages the board.
GND Ground pins.
Reset Used to the program running on the board.
PWM Pins (3,5,6,9,10, 11) is provided by PWM which provides 8-bit output PWM. SPI. It is known as Serial Peripheral Interface. Four pins 10(SS), 11(MOSI), 12(MISO), 13(SCK) provide SPI communication with the help of SPI library.
AREF Analog Reference (AREF) pin is used for providing a reference voltage to the analog inputs.
TWI A4, A5 pins are used for Two-wire Interface (TWI). TWI communication is accessed through Wire Library.
Rx It is used to receive data. i.e. used of Serial Communication.
TX It is used to transmit data. i.e. used of Serial Communication
External Interrupts  Pins 2 and 3 are used for providing external interrupts by providing LOW or changing value.
