Description
The Bpod Arduino Shield interfaces a 32-bit Arduino board with the Bpod State Machine. This allows the state machine to exchange bytes with a separate microcontroller at low latency, and provides an interface to the wide range of Arduino shields (expansion boards). The Arduino Shield uses an RS-485 driver IC to convert the Arduino board's single-ended UART signal into a differential signal, which allows high data rates (>1Mb/s) over CAT5 twisted wire pairs. If you need to interface the Bpod State Machine with a new sensor or actuator, this board provides an excellent starting point.
