I believe you did something similar.

cool project , i canceled mine because my daughter had already bought night light with white noise , i might finish it one day for they visit us..
this is one cool kids project and really well done and well built

Just came across this, like 5 minutes ago, haven't even read the whole blurb yet lol. Raspberry Pi Zero (W) Shield for Arduino from BurgessWorld Custom Electronics on Tindie
not something I'll ever need ,,beyond my knowledge ,if it wasn't for supplied Github Python Examples i'd be lost need Pi HDD storage

Linking a Pi (PC) to the Arduino is posible now via a serial connection. Its how it was originally done, it was how you programed your Arduino. Now most Arduino do it via USB. I just installed the Arduino IDE on my laptop and the drivers for my UNO and MKR1000. I just plug in the one I want to program and select it in the IDE setup menu. Thats as far as I got tonight though. Will play around with them over the next few days. That shield will do a bit more than just the serial interface though. I won't be buying one for a while though, if ever.
I just found it interesting how the two worlds meet with that device.
Happy Christmas and a Mery New Year to you too.
So far I have the many many Raspberry Pi's, two BBC Micro-Bit's and two Arduino's. I'm hoping playing around with the Arduino will inspire me to do something with the Micro-Bit. They ae both Micro Controllers and very similar in how they work and how you program them. I haven't touched those in a while now. The original plan was to give them to some of my grand kids, but they aren't all that interested in them. Near as I can tell anyway. I need to set something up with blinky lights and a servo waving a flage or something lol.
For Christmas I received a 0-30VDC, 0-5A bench power supply. Not exactly Pi related but I can use it to power my Pi projects while testing and prototyping.

Nice, one cool thing with something like that is you can set a max current limit. Plus you know what your voltage is with good accuracy. And can see it drop off if you overload things. 5A will come in handy if you start playing with motors etc.
I have a 5V 5A and 5V 10A. Switching power supplies / power packs. They look like laptop power supplies.
Something like that would come in real handy here. My BBC Micro Bits run on 3V and my Arduino's like 9V. Both will work from 5V via their USB jacks, but if you use the other power connector its gets complicated.
