can an arduino mega handle 50 leds on at the same time?
hello there im trying learn how program arduino , make project lots of leds tied each 1 directly on outputs of arduino mega using resistor before starting learning shift registers.
specifically want put 50 leds on arduino , code scan them in patterns , stuff
each pin of arduino have 1 led on current limiting resistor allow 20ma of current pass.
if scan them , toggle each 1 @ time on , off there wont problems suppose
but happen if code scan leds , keep them turned on simultaneous or if code turn on leds 3-5 seconds?
will arduino handle 20ma*50output pins = 1amp total simultaneous current draw 50 of outputs together?
or blow in face?
(i know should use shift register, led driver or right im interested learn if said possible , if arduino can handle it. when complete project ill start learning shift registers , stuff)
