| The best starting place IMO is the RasPi wiki, which has pointers to
troubleshooting, how-tos, lists of (non)working peripherals, and community
sites. The Official Web Site probably
has the most traffic and the forum is quite active, though many of the threads
are redundant. For deeper technical information, especially hardware, I suggest
element14's
RasPi group, where a number of good hardware engineers hang out. The 'blog
section there has a number of interesting hardware projects, such as using a
Motorola Atrix Lapdock as the screen/keyboard/mouse for RasPi. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The Gertboard has an ATMega and the Arduino pins as shown here in the gertboard-user-manual
Here's how to assemble the
board:gertboard-assembly-manual-gertboard-kit
And here is the gertboard software toolkit: gertboard-application-library-for-gertboard-ki
t
You might also want the Gertboard schematics.
You may need to subscribe to the
Element14 Community, add the Raspberry Pi Group to your account and accept
'Premium Content' to see the above documents. That also allows Element14 to spam
you with sales guff. If you don't want this, go back and change your account
details after downloading the documentation.
So, you can either
program your Raspberry Pi in a language of your choice (c and Python are well
supported) or use your Raspberry Pi to program your Arduino on the Gertboard.
You have the choice of driving the goodies on the Gertboard via the Raspberry Pi
GPIO pins or program up the ATMega and drive the goodies via the Arduino
pins.
The Raspberrypi.org
site is a useful resource, especially the forums, and the free Magpi magazine has all sorts of advice and
code examples.
