The LattePanda is a Windows 10 Computer for everything! And it has a built in Arduino Leonardo compatible chip on board. To make it smarter, the connection to the Arduino is not compatible with the standard Arduino board layout. I used a Sparkfun Protoshield, a ribbon cable 26 way and a pin strip 2 row to build an adapter!
The advantage of the protoshield from Sparkfun is that you have the populated reset and in addition 2 LEDs and one button for free wiring! I added a 3.3V Voltage Regulator because the LattePand has only 5V, and so you have the 3.3V on the adapter. The Raw (Voltage Input) and REF (ARef-Input) on the shield adapter are not connected because the LattePanda doesn't feature this.
NOTE: When soldering be aware of shortcuts and double check your connection to avoid damage to your LattePanda!

For programming I used Processing 3.1.1 in JAVA-Mode with the Arduino and P4G library. The creation of the GUI was made with the P4G-Tool. Library and Tool can be installed within Processing. On the Arduino, I loaded the standard Firmata Sketch from the examples in Arduino IDE 1.6.9.
