The Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms have become increasingly popular among those new
to electronics and project development. Arduino has been used in millions of projects and
applications because of its simple and accessible user interface. Raspberry Pi can browse the
internet and stream high-definition video, as well as spreadsheets, word processing, and
gaming, just like a desktop computer. Suppose you're unsure about the differences between
these two boards, Arduino vs. Raspberry Pi, then you have come to the right place. This
tutorial will explain the differences between Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
What Is Arduino?

Audrino is an open-source electronic device that reads and generates outputs based on inputs
(such as light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a tweet, such as turning on an LED or
activating a motor). Audrino was developed at the Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea as a
basic tool for students who had no prior knowledge of electronics or programming. It evolved
to suit new demands and obstacles after gaining popularity.
Arduino boards are microcontrollers, not full-fledged computers with their own operating
system like the Raspberry Pi. They just execute C/C++ programs stored in their firmware.
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is free software that allows you to
program an Arduino board and upload your code to it.

What Is Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a small, low-cost computer the size of a debit card that connects to a
monitor or television and utilizes a conventional keyboard and mouse.

It has a dedicated processor, memory, and a graphics driver, just like a PC. It also comes with
its operating system, Raspberry Pi OS, a modified version of Linux.

Although the Raspberry Pi lacks storage, you can use microSD cards to store whichever
operating system you choose (Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu Mate, etc.). Because the Raspberry Pi
has Bluetooth, ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity, it may be used to transfer files over the
internet. The software and the design of the Raspberry Pi project are not open-source.

Conclusion

Both Arduino and Raspberry Pi have their own set of benefits and drawbacks. The best
option for you will be determined by the nature of your job and your budget.

Arduino is ideal for automating repetitive operations such as opening and closing doors,
turning on and off lights, etc. Arduino should be your first pick if your project has any
repeating elements and requires generating output depending on sensory inputs.

Raspberry Pi is ideally suited for complex activities such as controlling complex robots,
weather monitoring, and internet publishing. If your project necessitates advanced
functionality and internet access, the Raspberry Pi is the answer.
