    Hi,
    For the Arduino UNO, you have :
    A0-A1-A2-A3-A4-A5 = 6
    and:
    0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13 = 14
    Should be enough in/out

    Check very well which is entry and which is out and don't forget to change the program of the arduino (making the right nuber of columns and lines)

    I think it gonna be fine, check:

    https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardUno

    it is written:

    "It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs"

    Hi diego
    i have taken an Arduino Mega 2560.It works fine.
    But i could not compile the 4x16 ino file from source, there is an error while compiling.
    I have changed the Lines

    //initialize an instance of class NewKeypad
    /Keypad customKeypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(Keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS);
    /

    to

    //initialize an instance of class NewKeypad
    /Keypad customKeypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(Keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS);
    /

    For using PIN 0 and 1 (D0 D1) you have to set in Setup:
    UCSR0B = 0;
    I have not tested it yet, but it schuld work.
