Detailed Notes on Pins:

1. Digital Pins (2–13):


o Can act as either input or output.
o Some pins support PWM (3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11), marked with (~).
2. Analog Pins (A0–A5):
o Used for reading analog sensors.
o Can also function as digital I/O if needed.
3. Communication Pins:
o UART (0, 1): For serial communication with PC or Bluetooth modules.
o I2C (A4, A5): For communication with multiple devices on the same bus.
o SPI (ICSP header or pins 10–13): For high-speed data exchange.
4. Power Pins:
o Provide 3.3V or 5V for external components.
o GND is essential to complete the circuit.
5. Reset:
o Handy for restarting the microcontroller during debugging.
