Adapter Board for Arduino & Raspberry Pi - ARPI600

Description:

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.

Supported Pi:

• Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+
• Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+
• Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

ARPI600 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

    • when connecting P_RX and CP_TX, P_TX and CP_RX respectively, USB TO UART is connected to Raspberry Pi serial port
    • when connecting XB_RX and CP_TX, XB_TX and CP_RX respectively, USB TO UART is connected to XBee serial port
    • when connecting XB_RX and P_TX, XB_TX and P_RX respectively, Raspberry Pi serial port is connected to XBee serial port
19. Arduino AD selection jumper
    
    • short 2 and 3 : Arduino A0-A5 as AD input
    • short 1 and 2 : Arduino A0-A5 as digital control
20. Arduino I2C selection jumper
    
    • short the jumper : Arduino A4-A5 as I2C control (the A4-A5 of Arduino AD selection jumper should be opened)
21. Arduino SPI selection jumper
    
    • short 1 and 2 : Arduino D11-D13 as SPI control (default)
    • short 2 and 3 : Arduino D11-D13 as digital control

When it comes to producing unique electronics components and modules, there are very few brands that can provide the quality that Waveshare can. Based in the Futian District in Shenzhen, China, Waveshare are experts in developing electronics to a high standard of quality, which have been thoroughly tested to work seamlessly with corresponding development platforms and systems – such as the E-Ink HATs for Raspberry Pi’s.

What we love most about Waveshare is how they are dedicated to providing quality products, and have moved away from the typical “Made in China” stigma – cheap products with cheap parts and components. Instead, Waveshare understand the value of supplying quality products and building sustainable relationships with international resellers and distributors. They know that consistent quality will result in consistent business, and as such they always ensure strict quality control for each and every product that comes out of the manufacturing plant.

We are always excited to peruse through their vast catalogue of exciting new products to find unique modules, components or even entire development boards that are designed with quality in mind. Because we know that every cent that we spend with Waveshare will be well-spent, with each product that order adding real value to our own catalogue of products.
