[PD] arduino mega and firmata, can i use all pins?

[FernandoG]

Oka Thanks

Tyler, maybe you can try flashing a led in any output from pin 14 to 40. In
this post. http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,62256.0.html   a guy said
he cant use this pins as input, in my case i need this pins as output to
flash a led.

Thanks
