How many LED/relays can Arduino control
How many LED or relays can Arduino control individually? How many LED or relays can connect to Arduino?
Answer
Basically, the number of LED or relay can connect to Arduino is equal to the number of arduino digital pins plus analog input pins. For example, Arduino Uno has 14 digital pins (D0 to D13) and 6 analog input pins ⇒ Arduino Uno can control up to 20 LED or relays.
You can also use a I/O Expanders (e.g PCF8574T) to increase the number pins that Arduino can control LED/Relay
Please note that, try to avoid using pin D0 and D1 Because these pins are used for Serial communication with Arduino IDE
