What is Arduino & Raspberry pi
Arduino is an open-source platform based on Atmega324. The Arduino boards are able to read and write. It can turn on off your lights, electric motor, appliances etc. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board.
The Raspberry Pi is a development board computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.
Importance of Arduino and Raspberry pi
- Inexpensive: Negotiable cost makes it cheap
- Cross-platform: Runs on Windows, MAC, Linux
- Carputer: Its compact size & Low power Requirement
- Simple, clear programming environment: Easy language understood by anyone
- Arcade machine: You can make any arcade variation
- Open source and extensible software: Feasible IDE software
- Internet radio: Connects all radio
- Home automation: Automate environment easily
What would I use each for?
An Arduino board is best used for simple repetitive tasks: opening and closing a garage door, reading the outside temperature and reporting it to Twitter, driving a simple robot.
Raspberry Pi is best used when you need a full-fledged computer: driving a more complicated robot, performing multiple tasks, doing intense calculations (as for Bitcoin or encryption).
