Raspberry Pi CM4-Duino Base Board – Arduino Compatible

The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 is a powerful new compact board that many Makers drool over. However, if you are lucky enough to own a CM4 then you’d quickly notice its distinct lack of interfaces in favour of the small design. Fortunately, plenty CM4 Base Boards are available to provide all the interfaces, ports, and connections you need for your Raspberry Pi project. This CM4-Duino Base Board offers an additional twist: equipped with an Arduino GPIO header, the CM4-Duino allows you to use the incredible Pi computing power with Arduino shields!

The CM4-Duino Base Board for the Raspberry Pi Module 4 provides USB-A, 4K HDMI, and MIPI CSI-2 camera interfaces, as well as Arduino GPIO connectors for various Arduino shields. Any variation of the Compute Module 4 is well-matched with the CM4-Duino board, including the CM4 Lite which can use a MicroSD card slot for storage. Furthermore, you can take your project online with the CM4-Duino’s M.2 slot which connects various modules like 4G or 5G cellular networks.

With the same form factor as the Arduino Uno R3, this CM4-Duino Base Board will transform your CM4 into a powerhouse of fantastic functionality. However, do note the difference in pinouts using the diagram linked on the Wiki page below. A USB Type-C port is used for the 5V power supply or programming. The CM4-Duino base Board is a great choice for extending your Raspberry Pi’s functionality with the wonderful peripherals of Arduino.

Please Note: The CM4-Duino Base Board is designed to perfectly fit any variation of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, which is unfortunately not available in our stock at this time.

Typical Applications for CM4-Duino Base Board:

The CM4-Duino Base Board is an extension board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. Makers utilise base board like these to supply additional interfaces onto their Raspberry Pi projects, allowing them to tinker with greater functionality. This CM4-Duino Base Board additionally provides Arduino compatibly, allowing you to integrate Arduino shields into your projects as well!
