ARPI600 - Adapter Board for Arduino & Raspberry Pi

Want to use Arduino shields with your Raspberry Pi? The ARPI600 lets you do just this! Many of us tinkered with the Arduino Uno before starting out with the Raspberry Pi, and now you can use your collection of Arduino shields with your Pi. The ARPI600 fits straight onto any 40-pin Raspberry Pi and offers a number features on top of the Arduino shield compatibility. There's an Xbee connector for fitting various XBee modules, a sensor interface for connecting your favourite sensors, an onboard USB to UART for serial debugging (can also be configured as an XBee USB adapter), an onboard ADC (11 channels - 6 channels for Arduino interface, 5 channels for sensors) and RTC (*CR1220 battery not included). Note: Raspberry Pi and Arduino/XBee shields not included ARPI600 Features
