Arduino vs Raspberry PI ?!

3:21 AM Unknown 0 Comments



The Arduino vs Raspberry Pi debate has caused a bit of confusion to beginners on what these 2 little devices actually do. They are both pretty cheap, the same size, and to the untrained eye, look very similar. However they are very different. They both are focused on very different ideas.

What is the main difference between the two?

Arduino is a micro-controller.Micro-controller is a simple computer that can run one program at a time, over and over again. It is very easy to use.  

 A Raspberry Pi is a general-purpose computer(Mini PC), usually with a Linux operating system, and the ability to run multiple programs. It is more complicated to use than an Arduino.


What would I use each for?

Make magazine (one of the biggest Makers community in the world ) have answered this question with a brief explanation. 
Arduino 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)

How to decide between the 2 when am working on project?

Here is an easy way to decide between the two gadgets ,its pretty easy method. If you can describe it with less than two ‘and’s, get an Arduino. If you need more than two ‘and’s, get a Raspberry Pi.



What is the best way to start with all of this stuff ?!

I think as a beginner you should start with Arduino it's easy and have very large community around the world ,so basically ,any question or problem should be solved in few seconds when you just google it .
here is a rich source to start with Sparkfun-arduino.Raspberry pi is also very useful when you work on an advanced projects ,it's help a lot to integrate the computers power and the micro-controllers ability .
here is a good pdf to start with RPI


Communities and projects ?!

 If you are looking for inspiration ,good projects ,DIY or how to make things here is a list of the biggest communities that every Maker or Geek should know about it .
