Hello!
I'm interested to start a project but I don't know if Genuino mega 2560 can handle it!
I want to use vibration sensors to make RGB led strips change colors or turn On/Off, the sensors will be put in some kind of boards that after being hited the sensor in the board will turn the Led strips off and shut down the noise of some kind of buzzer! So one board will contain a Led Strip, a vibration sensor that will tell the arduino to turn the light's on or off and a buzzer!
Some of the Led strips will be lighted randomly for some time with different colors and after the boards get hited the Leds will turn off also the buzzer or a speaker will be turned off!
THE MAIN QUESTION IS: **HOW MANY BOARDS CAN I USE AT THE SAMESAME TIME SIMULTANEOUSLY! **

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
billions of boards. every one that they made and are still working.
of course you could use them at the same time, simultaneously. it would be silly if only one person on Earth could use one board at a time. I would venture to say that there are millions, nay, 10's of millions of boards running at this very moment.
now, if you wanted to tie them togehter, that could be a bit of a challenge. but the whole IOT is based on tying them together....
but, alas, now I am stumped for the defination of a word. 'boards'
when 'we' say boards, we mean ARDUINO boards or their brethren. UNO/NANO/TRE, etc
when you say 'boards' are you meaning 'sensors' ?
considder that a typical NANO can run at 16 million operations per second.
so, if you have 16 million sensors, theoretically, you could read 16 million in a second.
althogh that is not how it works, the concept of 'silmultanious' to you might be different than someone else.
if you had say, 32 sensors, and say, that for all practical reasons, you are reading them at, say, 500,000 times a second
is that good for you ?
how about reading 20 sensors at 10 times a second ?
ChrisTenone:
Probably hundreds. Depending on what the word hited means, the project you describe can be done with just one.
What I want to know though, is how did you get that red question mark?
Sorry for my English but when I said Board I meant a board which can be metallic board or plastic board!! So the sensor is attached to the plastic board,and after the board vibrates after being hit with an object the led strip or led lamp stops!
The red question mark was an Emoji from my swift key keyboard!

What I wanted to know is that how many plastic boards with attached sensors and led strips and maybe speakers can be controlled with one Genuino MEGA 2560!
I hope you understand my question now ! Sorry for the misconception

Natively 16.
Because a Mega has 16 analogue inputs.
A Nano has 8.
Expanders chips could give you a silly amount of inputs or outputs. 16 per chip.
Tell us more about your project, so we don't give the wrong advice.

Maybe it's easier to design single stand-alone panels, like they did in the video.
With cheap Nanos (up to 8 sensors per panel).
And daisy-chain them to a main control Arduino.

Thank you very much , but I'm a beginner and I don't know exactly how to do all that!
So can you give me more help with more detailed info or suggest me a online tutorial or something that could really help me!
Wawa:
I suggest you try with one or two vibration sensor first, before you think of starting a project with multiple sensors and/or Arduinos.
Leo..
Can I start with a nano to do that?
And then connect multiple nano arduinos to use multiple sensors connected in a main android controller!
How many sensors can I control with an arduino nano!
