These pins can be programmed according to Arduino features such as I/Os operating at 5V or any additional features present in the pins (for example I2C communication in pins SCL and SDA).
Ref. 004001001200 Rev.3: 17-01-2021 DALI DALI communication involves Arduino pins 14(MISO) and 16(MOSI), which were previously used for SPI Communication. Now, they are part of DALI communication, sending and receiving data with Manchester codification. There is a connector with 2 DALI pins: DA+ and DA-. This can be used with one of our DALI modules or an external supported one.
