I have made an 8x8x8 led cube with arduino uno and it works perfectly, but I want to add a IR remote controle to it and since all the pins are used, I cant do that.
My idea was to replace Arduino Uno with Arduino Mega 2560.
My question is:
Will this work if I connect the pins on Mega as they were connected on Uno ?

Thanks!
Yes
Definenitely NO - that sketch uses direct port and timer register manipulation and will all need changing
for the Mega - since the pin assignment to timers and ports is completely different on the Mega it may
not be particularly straightforward.
@INTP: Did you look at the sketch before answering?
Nope
Thank you for your replies.
@MarkT - that is what I had been worrying about. Is it possible to make it work somehow?
A Mega will work, just need to change the code a little. Are you sure you've used all of the pins on the Uno, though?
Can someone point me in the right direction how to make this work, what should I change ?
Do I need to change wiring connections for mega and change the port in code?
Anyone? please
