The ARDvance-Pi is an advance Arduino training board. You can use it together with any of the Ardunio Uno or Duemilanove style of boards. The Arduino is plugged into the ARDvance-Pi and DIL switches allow the user to select which interfaces or circuits they want to connect to the Ardunio.
The training board has a number of interfaces
- 6 x Rotary Potentiometers
- 2 x Linear Potentiometers
- 4-Digit, 7-segment LED display
- Temperature Sensor
- Light Sensor
- Buzzer Output
- 5V/3.3V switchable PSU
- Prototyping area
- 8 x LEDs
- 8 x tactile switches
- 1-ch Relay (Change Over)
- RS232 interface with 9-W D connector
- H-Bridge Motor Controller (based on L298)
- XBee socket
- 16-way keypad*
- LCD interface*
- 5V to 3.3V logic conversion for Raspberry-Pi
* Note: if space allows
It was originally going to be called the ARDvance-10 but its name changed when I decided to add an interface port for the Raspberry Pi board, hence its new name ARDvance-Pi. Port Expanders, either MCP23008 or PCF8573 and a 8-ch ADC will also be added to allow I2C or SPI interfaces to be used from the Raspberry-Pi. When its finished, its hoped that the Raspberry-Pi can use the Arduino as a sort of slave I/O processor.
