Arduino Pinout ASCII art ready to go

Zoe Romano — November 20th, 2015

To enable easy documentation of pin assignments, BusyDuckMan created a couple of ASCII art of Arduino Uno and Mega boards marking ports, PWM and coms. You can now then simply copy and paste as a comment into your code and document in an easy way how the arduino is connected to other devices:

They can be pasted into code comments, (use /* and */ in the arduino IDE to create a block comment). They can also be useful in forums, when you need a quick arduino diagram, but don’t want to fire up an image editor.

    This is really good idea and it should be used in examples present in IDE, especially for shields. I often need to search in internet to find out which pins are in use and which I can use for my purpose.

    When I copy and paste the text from the web site, it is not formated in my sketch. I tried to copy it to text editor and it also is mangled..any thoughts? I have pasted below.

    It looks as though you have been bitten by the old “proportional-spaced font” issue. Try pasting it into Notepad, then copy/paste it from there into your sketch. Alternatively, paste it into a text editor and change the font to “Monospac821BT”. That should make everything line up.

    Thanks, BusyDucks!

    Not only is this REALLY helpful – -I agree with dobra-dobra that more manufacturers/coders-in-general should include this – – but it offers a great aesthetic alternative when illustrating/documenting projects…
