Raspberry Pi Expansion Board, Supports Arduino XBee ARpi600

Overview

This board provides a easy way for the Raspberry Pi GPIO interface to connect to Arduino pinouts. It also makes it possible to use the Pi together with the vast array of Arduino shields and hardware/software resources.

What's more, the ARPI600 also support XBee modules and it make it easy to add wireless features to your projects.

Supported Models of Pi

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