Which GPIO should I use?

Start with what you are connecting. Click any GPIO to locate it in the interactive diagram and inspect the full reason.

Recommendation and GPIOsWhy

Easy choice

Input-capable GPIOs with no board-specific warning declared in this reference.

Works with care

These inputs have a boot, programming, attached-hardware or other board-specific condition. Open a pin to see the exact reason.

Reference by function

See only the pins relevant to your circuit.

Each view removes the unrelated labels, then keeps the exact channel, bus role, and assignment status beside the physical board position.

01 · GPIO

GPIO pins: safe, conditional and avoid

Green pins are the easiest general-purpose choices. Amber pins have a device or board caveat. Red pins are reserved by the board or module.

02 · ADC

ADC analogue inputs

Only analogue-capable connections are shown, with the exact converter and channel role declared by the source data.

03 · I2C

I²C data and clock

Default data and clock roles are labelled separately from routes that software can remap.

04 · SPI

SPI buses

Usable SPI routes are shown with their controller and signal roles. Pins marked avoid are excluded from this view.

A remappable peripheral still has electrical and boot restrictions. Remapping does not make a reserved pin safe.

UART serial ports

Transmit and receive pins are grouped by UART controller, with default and fixed assignments shown explicitly.

06 · PWM

PWM outputs

PWM can be routed to output-capable GPIOs. Input-only pins are not included because they cannot drive a PWM waveform.

The classic Uno layout

This reference covers the Arduino Uno Rev3 with the socketed, dual-inline ATmega328P. Its familiar shield headers expose fourteen numbered digital pins and six analogue inputs, plus power, reset and reference connections.

Shared functions matter

Pins D0 and D1 form the hardware serial port used by the USB interface, so connected hardware can interfere with uploads and the Serial Monitor. D10–D13 carry SPI, while A4 and A5 carry I2C as SDA and SCL. The extra SDA and SCL header positions are duplicates of A4 and A5, not an additional bus.

PWM and analogue input

The ~ marking identifies the six pins supported by Arduino's analogWrite() convention: D3, D5, D6, D9, D10 and D11. A0–A5 are the primary analogue inputs and can also be addressed as digital GPIO when analogue conversion is not needed.

Power safely

The board's digital logic is 5 V. The VIN and USB limits are board power specifications, not GPIO signal limits. Always distinguish a recommended operating condition from an absolute maximum before connecting external circuits.

Quick explanations

ATmega328P pinout FAQ

Which ATmega328P GPIO pins are the easiest to use?

Start with the pins marked recommended: D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5. They are declared as general-purpose GPIO without a board-specific boot, programming, or reserved-function warning in this reference. Always check the exact function you need before wiring.

Which pins can I use for a push button?

Use a recommended, input-capable GPIO. Check whether the selected pin provides an internal pull resistor or requires an external resistor.

Which ATmega328P pins can read an analogue signal?

The analogue-capable pins in this reference are A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5. Open the ADC view to see each channel and any board-specific constraints.
