Hi,

is there any way of returning the arduino board information, namelly the number of digital I/O pins and analog pins? My goal is to design a project that would accept any arduino board type.

Thanks

not that I am aware of (and I've seen quite some posts)

And only the microcontroller name (ex: ATmega2560) is it possible to get from arduino, or should I look for the usb drive information?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming your going to develop a program/app to connect to an arduino and read/control I/O pins (like firmata does) then your going to have to also write code on the arduino to accept and process the program/app commands. The arduino sketch could return the MCU type as part of the initial handshaking when it's connected to.
