Can someone from seeedstudio post some example code for how I could read and write to these extra GPIO pins? This will absolutely decide it for me and I’ll order up a seeeduino mega immediately after. My project is super hungry for more i/o

i should say “I will order one mega immediately and can require them for my project when I start selling them.”
Steve;
Here is a simple example of turning on and off the first and last I/O bits of the extended bits that the Seeeduino Mega makes avalible.
[code]/*
- Toggle extended I/O bits 70 and 86 on and off for Seeeduino Mega board
- Also added an example of a digital input reading the state of digital pin 71
*/
int switchstate; // variable to hold value of digital input pin 70
void setup() // run once, when the sketch starts
{
DDRH |= 0x04; // sets the digital pin 70 to output, pin 70 is bit 2 of port H
DDRE |= 0x04; // sets the digital pin 86 to output, pin 86 is bit 2 of port E
DDRH &= 0x7f; // sets the digital pin 71 to input, pin 71 is bit 7 of port H
}
void loop() // run over and over again
{
PORTH |= 0x04; // sets pin 70 high
PORTE |= 0x04; // sets pin 86 high
delay(1000); // waits for a second
PORTH &= 0xfb; // sets pin 70 low
PORTE &= 0xfb; // sets pin 86 low
delay(1000); // waits for a second
switchstate = PINH & 0x80; // switchstate is non zero if digital input 71 is high, else it’s zero if input 71 is low
}

I was researching the Arduino Mega while searching for a microcontroller board on which I’d like to base a project, and came upon the Seeeduino Mega. Then I got all excited because of the extra digital ports without any futzing about with matrices or multiplexing. Then I saw this thread. Hopefully someone can answer some questions I have re: the Seeduino Mega’s extra digital ins and outs.
So, this is what I have gotten out of this discussion:
1: The Seeeduino Mega has 16 extra digi i/o pins, but these pins are difficult to use, and surely won’t be supported by the stantard Firmata sketch (which isn’t functional for the normal Arduino Mega, anyhow, according to info on the Arduino forum).
2: These extra 16 digi i/o’s cannot be used simultaneously with the 16 analog pins that they share traces/microcontroller pins with. Or can they?
3: The standard Arduino Mega may be able to do the same thing as the Seeeduino Mega and produce 16 more usable digital i/o’s; it would just require a firmware revision and some extra off-board wiring? Or is there more work which would have to be done to access these pins? …Or is this completely impossible on the original Mega? The way the posts above are worded, it seems the analog pins 0-15 share circuit board traces with the digital pins 54-69. which means that those digital pins are just duplicates, as you would get from stacked headers sprouting off of a shield on an Arduino. This theory would further confirm my suspicion that you can’t use the extra 16 digital pins at the same time as the analog pins.
So anyhow, could someone with experience confirm or deny any of this? I really want to purchase a Seeeduino to base a prototype of a production piece off of, but I can’t until I have this stuff figured out.
Cheers,
Scott
Thanks for the run-down, Leftyretro! You are right, I was confusing the pins you were discussing above. I was aware that the analog pins could be used as digital as well, so talking about those in the same thread as the 16 extra digital i/o’s on the Seeeduino Mega crossed my wires a bit 
…but it is crystal clear now!
Cheers!

Has anyone hacked a version of pins_arduino as Albert suggested they might to make those pins easier, or done a seeeduino expansion library that exposes an extended interface with an extended functions to do this. If no one has I may start asking questions to figure it out, but it seems that if it is this straight forward, from Albert’s post at least he implies it is. I figure someone must have done this. I can see the argument going either way, but given the unfortunate choice by the arduino folks to not expose the pins and concatenate the analog ports after the digital ports, maybe a separate library that allow access to the extra pins at the end of the name space. (Or figuring out there mapping scheme and adding them after the analog ports so that compatibility is not completely lost. The software does not scare me, but I don’t fully understand the low levels of the libraries and this chip so I am not going spite out changes quickly. It also seems like it ought to be a team effort if the information can become clear enough.
Okay a quick scan of the pins_arduino.c file indicates to me that at a minimum I would need to modify
These three list
digital_pin_to_port_PGM
digital_pin_to_bit_mask_PGM
digital_pin_to_timer_PGM
So the last one is easy, add 16 NOT_ON_TIMER entries.
I am not understanding the format of the digital_to_bitmask_PGM I am guessing it is the bit in the port
register associated with the pin. I am guessing that the register is defined in digital_pin_to_port data structure. If that is the case this is any easy extension if someone can tell me the 16 correct port registers for the 16 unmapped signals. Then I can add the P*, to the first, the correct bits for the second, and declare no timers in the third. Is this all there is to it, or am I missing something. Also can someone more schooled in the Arduino doctrine suggest which term I should ifdef this on and which file I need to declare the existence of this new option in I would appreciate it. Then I will push at the Arduino folks to consider adding it.
If I am missing something please tell me what it is, but it seem like it ought to be very straight forward.
From my limited reading of the board file it would appear that I need to add

PJ,

_BV(7),
_BV(4),
_BV(5),

Albert, or some one else who is more of a hardware type than me, is this correct? Should I be adding a timer to some of these pins for pwm? Any other things to consider?
Rich;
I don’t believe anyone has taken on the task of mapping the additional 16 digital pins into the Arduino IDE core library. It would be really cool if you can, I know the task is a little more software intensive then I felt I could handle when I looked at those library files after first getting my Seeeduino Mega. I’m more comfortable with the hardware side of these things. I did review your posted lists and I do think you correctly listed the correct ports and their bit positions for the additional 16 pins.
I think a few of the extra pins do have timers associated with them, but it’s probably something you would have to research better with the AVR 1280 datasheet: atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod … oc2549.pdf
So while I’m not up to the task of writing the code, I would be more then happy to test any changed IDE core files you want and report back.
I thought about this issues back whenever, and decided that if I really ever needed to access these extra pins I could write simple functions that would utilize the direct port statements to get to them.
Last point would be don’t be too disappointed that if you get it all working that the ‘official’ Arduino core team does not see fit to include it into an official IDE release, they may feel it’s a too vendor specific change 
Lefty
I read the chip spec, but I did not find any PWM timer settings associate with the 16 additional Digital outs. I am going to add them after the analog outs for the moment, but I will entertain arguments that they should precede them. This way a code for a arduino mega will be compatable at the bit lvl with this change.
When I get a free moment or two I will test the changes, unless someone shows up with a problem or issue before I get to it. If someone wants to help test it send me a note on the bbs and i will forward the file.
I have a working pins_arduino.c with the additional pins added after the analog in the order I transcribed them from the drawing. My test work, although I am not sure I didn’t reverse the order from what I intended in starting. At this point I am unsure if it is forward or backward. I am also uncertain if I should have placed them before the analog entries or not. I now think I understand the files well enough to do it either way. Anyway if there is a place to put such things please tell me.
I would attach it, but the bbs has an issue with .c files so I can’t
Why don’t you just rename them as .txt files and try attaching?
Lefty
Okay why not, cause I can’t post .txt files either. No idea why, but I get the same "The extension txt is not allowed.

Kinda silly but that seems to be the only way for me to upload it.

I’ll give it a try sometime this weekend.

Hey Lefty Thanks for that bit of code.
I’m just mapping out the pins on my new seeeduino mega now. I got a few of the extra 16 digital pins to fire. Can you post how to set the the other pins to HIGH also. I have:
70, 71, 72, 77, 83, and 85.
DDRH |= 0x04; //sets digital pin 70 as an Output Pin
DDRH |= 0x7f; //sets digital pin 71 as OUTPUT
DDRJ |= 0x04; //sets digital 72 as OUT
DDRJ |= ; //73
DDRJ |= ; //74
DDRJ |= ; //75
DDRJ |= ; //76
DDRJ |= 0x7f; //sets pin 77 as OUT
DDRD |= ; //78
DDRD |= ; //79
DDRD |= ; //80
DDRG |= ; //81
DDRG |= ; //82
DDRE |= 0x7f; //sets pin 83 as OUT
DDRE |= ; //84
DDRE |= 0x04; //sets digital pin 85 as an Output Pin
That’s all 16. I know that 0x04 = 2 and 0x7f = 7 but don’t know the others
hey , bumping
did anyone test this code? is it noob safe?
I have just purchased the Seeeduino Mega 2560. Has anyone completed the pins file?
Thank you for making the sincere attempt to discuss this. I feel fairly strong about it and would like to read more. If it’s OK, as you learn more in depth knowledge, would you mind adding more posts similar to this one with more information? It would be extremely helpful and useful for me.
