Here are the features including a few extra goodies:
- Flexible power. Can be powered directly from the Pi, standalone with a battery or wall-wart, or USB power. This is important if your shield takes more power than the Pi can provide or if you want to undock it for standalone operation.
- Programmable via the Pi’s UART on the GPIO pins, or an FTDI USB-Serial adapter or ISP.
- Header for connecting Fastrax UP501 GPS.
- DS3234 Real time Clock. The Pi doesn’t have it’s own battery backed RTC. You can set a program in the AlaMode to report the time to the Pi via serial or I2C
- Micro-SD card slot. Useful for datalogging, and big-memory for your Arduino applications
- Row of Servo Headers connected to the PWM pins with a configurable power and ground rail
