The Arduino platform comes with a vast ecosystem, and now there is a way for the Raspberry Pi GPIO interface to adapt to the Arduino pinout.

The ARPI600 board makes it possible to use the Raspberry Pi concurrently with the vast selection of Arduino shields and their hardware & software resources.

What's more, the ARPI600 also supports our XBee module, making it easy to add wireless features to your future projects.

Features

• Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, Jetson Nano
• Compatible with Arduino UNO, Leonardo, easy to connect with various Arduino shields
• XBee connector for connecting various XBee modules
• Sensor interface for connecting various sensors
• Onboard USB TO UART for serial port debugging, also can be configured as XBee USB adapter
• Onboard ADC, 10 bit, 38KSPS, 11 channels (6 channels for Arduino interface, 5 channels for sensors)
• Onboard RTC
