Arduino Raspberry Pi
The Arduino is a microcontroller. It’s used in Raspberry Pi is a microprocessor that almost has the
electronic circuits to conduct simple tasks like control same capability as your computer. Raspberry Pi is
a motor or light, but it can’t do the same things as a much more powerful and can do many tasks at the
microprocessor. same time.
It’s perfect to control a small circuit with one or two If you only want to control a small electronic circuit
related tasks. But it won’t run complex applications, with one task, the Arduino might be a great option.
so there is no real multitasking with Arduino. But for more complex projects or at least various
goals, a Raspberry Pi would be more versatile.
Arduino doesn’t have enough resources (CPU, RAM A Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer, that can run many
and storage) to turn into an operating system. This is operating systems like Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu or
another main differences between these two even Windows 10
products.
If the task can be handled by an Arduino and power For a powerful device,
consumption is important for your project, the Raspberry Pi will be a better choice
the Arduino will be a great alternative. For example,
a Raspberry Pi will quickly run out of power if you
run it on batteries, whereas an Arduino can work for
days on them.

music to a Bluetooth speaker
To program an Arduino, you need to On Raspberry Pi, Python is already installed with
download and install the Arduino IDE on the official several text editors (like Thonny IDE and Geany),
website. The programming language is very close that’s the natural language to start with. But you
to C++ can install and use another language like Java, C/C+
+ or PHP
Less Expensive, The Arduino Uno R3 cost less than Raspberry Pi tends to be a bit more expensive than
$20. Arduino boards. Raspberry Pi 4 cost at least $50
