Controllino MEGA has 24 High Side digital outputs available. The first 20 outputs we can control using the standard Arduino functions (e.g. digitalWrite and analogWrite), but for D20-D23 digital outputs we have to know how to use PORT manipulation on ATmega2560. On the connection picture we can see that there are no Arduino pins assigned to these outputs.

Hardware Required

• Controllino MEGA
• 12/24V DC Power supply

Circuit

Note*
Pin header is working on 5V TTL levels. Voltage levels over 5.5V can damage the Controllino permanently.
