Using Small Arduinos with a Raspberry Pi
You want to use an Arduino board with a Raspberry Pi, but would like something more compact.
Use one of the small breadboard-friendly Arduino boards.
Figure 14-17 shows an Arduino Pro Mini board. Boards like this have the great advantage that they can be plugged directly into breadboard along with other components needed for the project. The Pro Mini board is also available in a 3.3V version, which avoids any need for level conversion when you’re using it with a Raspberry Pi.
Discussion
Some of these boards, such as the Pro Mini shown in Figure 14-17, require a USB programming interface. You can program them from the Raspberry Pi or another computer if that proves problematic.
As well as official Arduino boards, you can also find many low-cost clones.
