You can find further
support and forums and purchase shields and sensors
that work
with these instructions.
If you're interested in further pursuing Raspberry Pi projects that integrate Arduino
parts, you might also be interested in the
Alamode
(shown in
Figure 6-10
), a develop-
ment board that, like the Cooking Hacks board, makes your Raspberry Pi compatible
with Arduino shields. The Alamode is voltage-safe, it has a built-in, bi-directional
translator that makes the 3.3 V to 5 V conversion for you, and it also has a Micro-SD
slot for storage and an RTC chip.

Although the Cooking Hacks Raspberry Pi to Arduino board and the Alamode are not
identical, you might end up making a decision based partly on features and partly on
which you find easier and more convenient to obtain based on where in the world you
live. Cooking Hacks is based in Spain but has global distributors. In the United States,
