ARPI600 User Manual
Overview
Arduino is a massive ecosystem, if there's a way for the Raspberry Pi GPIO interface to
adapt to Arduino pinouts, it is possible to use the Pi together with vast Arduino shields
and hardware/software resources. The ARPI600 is just intended for this.
What's more, the ARPI600 also support XBee modules, make it easy to add wireless
feature to your great project.
Features
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
