Extensions for the Raspberry Pi

Zombie Pi

The GertDuino module comes from Gert van Loo [29]. The module consists of an Arduino that the user plugs into the Raspberry Pi, which lets the user easily program and control the Arduino via the Rasp Pi. The GertDuino is also compatible with Arduino Uno and can reuse its shields. These small piggyback boards extend the function of the Arduino in much the same way that the HAT module extends functionality for the Raspberry Pi.

You should be familiar with the Arduino platform before trying to use the GertDuino. For example, it is good to know that the programs are executed with a cross-compiler. The GertDuino prices vary from $30 to $50, according to the supplier.
