The RasPiO® Duino is a small plug-on board for Raspberry Pi. It has similar functionality to an Arduino Uno, but is fully programmable from the Raspberry Pi. Once programmed, it can be removed from the Pi and used on its own.

How Long to Build and Get Going?
RasPiO® Duino takes about 30 minutes to build, if you’ve done some soldering before.
Once built, the software installation on the Pi (internet connection needed) will take about another 15 minutes, then you should be ready to go.
There’s an LED on pin 13, so the standard ‘blink’ sketch should work unchanged, once you’ve set everything up. Full instructions and some examples are provided on Github.
Once you've got your RasPiO® Duino, these three links will be useful for you…
