The mega is only modestly more expensive than an Uno, with clones available for less than $10 USD. You can connect a WiFi board and something else like Bluetooth at the same time. The Mega has many more GPIOs (General Purpose Input/Outputs) available to you for constructing control panels and controlling turnouts, signals and other accessories. A mega allows you to add more features like networking and displays because it has more memory.

When compiled, our code just barely squeezes onto an Arduino Uno.

ESP8266 (WiFi Boards) - AT Version Issues and Solutions.Note the pins do not have to be in order, you can use 4, 6, 22, 28.whatever as long as your code is corrected to match each pin's assignment - though it's better to keep them together to avoid tracing through a wiring mess when you have a lot of things hooked up. This leaves you with 4-10 available to you for PWM if you need. You can move those lines to let's say 22-29 on the mega and in your code make the matching change. Yes, however you don't have to use 4-10 on the Arduino side. But if you are ok with wiring and it being a little messy, you get more flexibility by being able to route things to your own pins to free up ones you need.

Using the shield as a shield snapped on your forced to use whatever pinout the board maker routed to make it fit as a shield. You'd change that to your new RS pin, maybe: So if you use example code like this one: Arduino project hub Might help see how the wires would connect, however, you don't have to use 4-10 on the Arduino side. See the second picture, it's the only one I could find where you can zoom in around it the rest on google images were just thumbnails - not advocating buying from this site! Now, if you needed all 15 or so PWM pins for your motors, well you still can by just not sticking the shield on top of the mega and using jumpers to connect the IO pins on the shield to the digital pins on the far right of the mega and change your code to match what new IO pins you used to drive the LCD. Pins 2-7 on the mega should be available to you at the top of the shield on the right side with the black female strip connectors, still free to use - those pins are not being used at all by the LCD shield, just passed through and those are PWM pins as you noted. What LCD keypad shield are you using? This is the one I think of but it only uses like 7 digital and 1 analog IO, if it works with an UNO it sure as heck will leave you plenty of IO on a mega! I do not think any of the 7 LCD controlling pins need to be PWM enabledĮDIT: It just occurred to me that maybe it's confusing because it's a shield and it looks like it's hogging up all the pins (Personally, it's why I don't use shields).
