What's the difference? Arduino vs Raspberry Pi 

The language grammar is similar lol. C# has many of the features C (and even C++) have, even pointers if you're willing to use unsafe code. Normally it does use references to classes instead of copying them already, so that's taken care of, and no need for "unsafe" pointers.

they are all, after all, starting with the letter C

Arduino language is a version of C++ language (has classes), not C.

@@mbaksa it's not Arduino language, just C++ or smth, it just includes the Arduino library without you being able to remove it

@@Tiddle_s That is EXACTLY what I was talking about, however, I said "C++ or something" because this version does not include features that would otherwise be available in standard C++, such as vectors, maps, stacks, file I/O etc. Also, the fine extension is .ino

Thats the same point as the difference highlighted between MCUs and MCs.

analog input, not i/o, the arduino doesnt have a analog output, though thats kinda debatable since you can easily make PWM into analag simply with low pass.

Raspberry has an hdmi and Camera port and You can connect it over usb to the Arduino, but that is not easy. The worsest thing is that nearly all programs from the internet are not working with an Raspberry Pi 3 - they are nearly all for old versions - I have 12 Sensors and 0 Programms work as they are - it is easy to read or write a 0 1 to a pin, but connectiong usb or a a/d changer has not worked now ... maybee I try the prog from IBM.

@@_--_--_ ESP32's have DAC's and run on the Arduino IDE. Sure they might not run natively (have to download libraries) but I consider them to be arduino microcontrollers like you would Nanos or Uno's.

Exactly. There are a lot of hardware such as sensors that work only with Arduino out of the box. In more case than not, one need to look at what input output hardware they will be using before even deciding between Arduino and Pi, and that's before looking into other things like power source.

We actually did it at University. There are many things that people don't realize about Mac. Mac is one of the best in terms of user-friendliness and because its build for the hardware it's running on, it also makes it much better for heavier loads than Windows. Those were the two main reasons that we found the most important. There are a lot of negatives as well. Which in this case outweigh the positives.

Somewhat similar tho. Both are UNIX.

@@masterdrive4033 The Macintosh is nothing more than FreeBSD with a proprietary GUI system built upon it. It's a primitive, frustrating, hobbled version of Unix. It does not have superior hardware, it's vastly over-priced for the performance. Apple does not have either superior software, or user design, but they have INCREDIBLE marketing.

@@masterdrive4033 MacOs is terrible and Macs are terrible too.

I use Mac because the UI is beautiful. But i prefer Windows when it comes to USERFRIENDLY

LolzChannel - Minecraft to me I see no reason to not a raspberry pi. Little price difference. Only if you don’t know python

faiz abbas but for some projects using a pi would just be overkill. I don’t want a pi running for every single sensor I have put together.

@@Trackrace29582 Pi runs an operating system so you can't have reliable, precise timing - it has to run other stuff, not just your program. Arduino only has a microcontroller which only runs a single program (yours), so nothing gets in its way.

This aged well.

​@@Trackrace29582man, you're new at electronic, you have no idea the true power of both

I'm too short sighted regarding eventual problems to try a project like this that my health depends upon. Every program I've worked on has had some errors that weren't immediately obvious. Unforeseen reactions during my cancer treatment have put me in intensive care in the past, all those drugs have had considerable testing but how they work with my body and each other creates more scenarios than were foreseen. I wish you all the success in the world!

Good luck man!! Sounds like an awesome Idea

Doesnt tht already exist though? Automatic insulin pumps.

That's incredible, how old are you?

make sure it doesnt break and release all your insulin into you at once

If it wasn't for those gpio pins no one would do a comparison. Rpi is like my linux desktop but less resources.

what if i'm just in the midle of that, like for (very precise because that's what i'm trying to do) example you wanted to: create a furby that is controled by a ardruino or pi zero w to play audio files and move face acordingly but the files it plays are transmitted from another computer. some kind of a pupet you can talk through and move remotly. because pi zero w is 10€ and that's really cheap for bluetooth control but it's a nightmare to play audio files through and i don't know if the ardruino equivalent would be better (keeping in mind furby only have 1 motor for all his facial expressions)

Arduino also can work with interrupts.

arduino is a microcontroller board and raspberry pi is a microprocessor board. Micro-controller are programmed to do only one type of task, whereas microprocessors are multipurpose . In short , microprocessors are far more capable than microcontrollers , in terms of processing power.

@@maxk5065 You'd have to go with Pi on that because Arduino can only do things sequentially. In other words, if you want your furby to say something AND move its mouth in sync with it, it would only be able to do one, then the other with Arduino. With a Pi, you can do both simultaneously.

Basically, if you want something that a computer can do, use a Pi but if you don't need as much power and features, use an Arduino

@@w花b " if you want something that a computer can do" that's anything an arduino can do... You basically just said 'if you want an arduino, get a pi, otherwise get an arduino' which doesn't make much sense.

@@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies You're taking that general statement a bit too far. There is actually a technical difference between a computer and a microprocessor, and while a microprocessor can do a few things that a computer does, there are many things a computer can do that a microprocessor can't. One simple example is that you can't have Arduino run Linux, and the thousands of programs that run within the Linux operating system. Your Arduino will never be your DNS server or your game emulator.

Oh fuck its gone sentient!

Just wait till we get rs45s in the head. Absolutely absolute control completely. Mr tesla? Take me to mars fast!!! Whats there? What is my purpose?

both of them are not that hard to learn they're easy, both are high level object-oriented programming languages, well c# is a little more higher level than c++ but still c++ is high level too.

@@mastershooter64 please tell me that C++ is just a language that looks hard, but isn't too complex haha I'm intermediate in Python and everytime I see C++, my brain goes wtf

@@cr3atur321 lol it looks hard because you don't know much about the syntax once you start learning and practicing it, it'll be easy for you, im also intermediate in python and i've started to learn c++ code in c++ is longer than python and takes more time to write that might also be why it would "look hard" to beginners in c++ but it has a much more lower level access than python atleast that's what i've heard

@@mastershooter64 ohh okay. Thank you :)

@@cr3atur321 can relate

Good point. But you don't use a calculator anymore, because every laptop has one built in as software. Why use 2 things when one will work better?

Worst comparison ever, arduino is a platform, raspberry is an SBC, like a rabbit vs car comparison, nonsense

@@Mcs1v The comparison is valid, since you use BOTH to accomplish the same thing (It's a maker computer). And you can use a car for everything, while a rabbit can't do most things that a car can (try driving around on a rabbit or transport your shopping). My point is that the Raspberry Pi is MORE USEFUL, costing just 15 dollars more. The Arduino is an futile exercise in minimalism that gives you no advantages when doing a project.

@@aloiskleinestier1848 Less power consumption is an advantage and there might be projects where this particular thing would make the arduino more suitable to use.

@@artur6912 like not having a continuously interrupted work environment. Linux intercepts interrupts and may mess up timing based software on the Raspberry Pi, and you can't disable interrupts. On the Arduino, you can, and it will not mess with timing.

Arx Mechanica do you have any educational sources teaching how to do this?

Together? The Raspberry Pi board can all the jobs an Arduino can do, and it will do it far much better.

@@bk109 also, the Raspberry Pi is terrible for timing intensive jobs, because you can't disable interrupts unlike the Arduino, and the underlying OS takes a while to intercept those, thus messing with timings. Also, the Arduino boots much faster than the Pi, because of the Pi operating system.

@@bk109 correct :)

@@bk109 You can use raspberry pi for say a pin-code reader 24/7/265 that's exposed to the elements in order to open doors? Put it in a plastic case with some thermal packaging and forget? Maybe the arduino is better suited for this? Idk, all i know is that i hate java and java-based anything because of stability issues.

Arduino is hands down the choice for beginners working with electronic components. The Raspberry Pi is a full blown computer with all the complications that come from having to deal with an operating system (I never really understood what the difference was between a Raspberry Pi and any regular computer that people owned if they weren't interested in learning how to work with components). The Arduino was explicitly designed to make the external interface accessible. If all you want is a small computer then obviously the Pi is the only way to go. If your goal is to create something with electronic compnents then you'd choose the Arduino. That said, in 2020 Raspberry Pi came out with a microcontroller based board called the Raspberry Pi Pico and we now also have the BBC micro::bit. And, because of how Raspberry and Arduino have made their components and designs available to the world there are legal knockoffs on the market that help fill the manufacturing void that exists.

I mean, its easy, soo

He's not wrong.

Surely it will happen someday. Calculators will become phones and phones will become calculators. Then we will need to exchange our phones for calculators.

@@adityasingh3963 no

Aditya Singh ya no

Sounds like a raspberry pi project

unfortunately it's impossible, but here's my idea : remove the internal components of a calculator, remove the display, insert a little phone screen atatched to a raspberry pi inside the calculator and make a little hole to conect a usb keyboard and mouse, now you can use the calculator as a computer, but i don't think this will be no more a calculator

is this serious? I'm really considering using Raspberry for my Grade 10 city-wide robotic contest. I'm gonna put a lot of stuffs and features there and I think Raspberry could offer a lot more. The thing is How could I master it with a limited budget and limited information online.

Thes best comment i've seen😂.....btw i thought that the arduino forums were full of bullies ....I haven't seen the raspberry folks yet....

Stupid comment. Both communities have their self opiniated members

Sounds like you're describing the Arch Linux community...

@@martinhow121 .. and most of them start their one-liner posts with an angry tone to express disagreement with others.

I think that's really more accurate.

You'd be right

Jon jonsson what could an arduino do that a pi cant?

@@alexrsps141 they are very different. A pi, operates on 3 volt so the amount of shields are although better amount now, much more limited for easier applications. Arduino operates on 5-12 volts (normally) and have both an easy to use coding library with a ton of users so for everything you need to measure, move etc i would use arduino as it is inexpensive and easy. The microcontroller - arduino , does what you tell it to do and thats about it. A pi, need to have some interface to do that . typically -to drive a full 3d printer with 5 few stepper motors and temp switching, and limit switches a shield with a million users cost around 10 euros, then you need a few stepsticks. Same CAN be done on a raspberry but no ones really doing that as it is complex, and much more expensive to get working. Arduino community provides codes for small lcd:s ..motors etc so it is a toolbox. you can run it together with a pi though and thats a good tcombination. I would never use a raspberry pi alone on a 3d printer (as for example ) as my startup time is 2 secs on the arduino and does exactly what i have done in it , repeatedly while an pi would cost me loads of work and manually start ( or program me) a software doing the same. Arduino is a perfect data logger etc etc.

@@alexrsps141 Operate on a 9v battery.

An arduino can run on AA batteries for 6-12 months with sleep mode great for remote applications since is far more simplified and also has ability to read analog signals which you'll need to read some sensors and potentiometers. It also has the advantage of booting instantly and easier to program. Otherwise yes a PI has a lot more to offer then with the full operating system and media supported.

You can get Arduino 8-bit boards for far cheaper if you buy the clones from China (more variable quality but generally decent), they only cost a few dollars each (a Nano sells for $5 or lower) and often come with free shipping, which makes it ideal for a newbie who isn't yet looking out for potentially controller-damaging mistakes like shorting I/O pins to each other.

Yeah right? When you want a range rover for offroad hobby and a sports car for work, why not just buy both? They would cost less than $100k and you have the best of both worlds. edit: The example is exaggerated that's right but think about it like this. $1 is ₺8 in Turkey and everything electronical costs 2 times more because of the import tariffs and Euro. For example ps5 is ₺8.300 in here which is equivelent to $1.000+. So pi+arduino actually *does* cost more than $50 in here. I hope that you have a better understanding of the argument now.

I feel like if he didn’t filter the pics of the items talked about it might not have been so bad but i definitely feel ya man.

Same

the Pi does also have 5 volt pins on the GPIO

the better arduinos are 3.3V too

Barne Bock not the same. For one you shouldn’t use that 5v to power much but the gpio outputs only 3.3v. So you can try operating 5v items with it but it’s not ideal. I get a ton of interference and false positives when using my pi with a 5v relay for an arcade claw machine. The nano does this faster and flawlessly, while the pi would require me to use a schmitt trigger.

MelonNF but you cannot control that as a button. The buttons are all 3.3v.

I just bought one and googled what I wanted to do. But if you know your way around Linux, you won't have many problems with the pie. The only things that are special about the pie is that it has the raspi config file where you have to enable stuff like hdmi output, gpio output, camera input, ect. Oh, you also need a micro SD card, as "harddrive" for it. Programming of the pie is usually done in python. I myself bought a set, because I wanted to play around with eink displays. It came with a whole python library you can built upon to make stuff work there. But like I said: it depends on what you want to do.

Yes

He made a mistake.

The programming language for the Arduino *is* very similar to C#. If you know C#, there's a lot you can do on an Arduino beyond beginner level. Not a mistake.

Bill Gross Arduino is a subset of C and C++.

Oh geez...I meant to say C++...totally made a mistake. good catch!

😆 Don't know why people pronounce it like that - it's pretty common. Actually, I blame Ben Heck.

size and their looks

If they have another computer, arduino. Only a android phone or access to a computer, R Pi. It is a computer.

No.

Kind of. Microcontrollers that run straight code are real time. Reading and writing to gpio is reliable on arduino. Anything running an os, will cause delays in your code run time (it has to run other stuff). So you dont know when your code will run, which means a Rpi can't do precise timing on gpio. Eg you can emulate a serial port on gpio on arduino, but you cant on Rpi because the timing will not be always correct. For engineers, usually precise timing is everything. Software engineers dont care about hardware so they go for Rpi.

Absolutely not.

@@TheBodgybrothers And OS comes on different standard. By the way Arduino also has ARMs version.

Not quite. I'm a computer engineer, both Arduino and RPi are tools for data acquisition, signal processing, communication/networking, and providing local storage. These are made for hardware-based projects. All of it can be programmed in basic languages like Python, C/C++, terminal script. I'm not labeled a programmer, but I program often because I'm using these micro-controllers. Programmers are purely in the software domain, and are more likely to run simulations with little need to gather empirical data, so they have less use for things like Arduinos and RPi.

You can run a Real Time OS (RTOS) on ARM. Some are even Linux based. The stock Linux kernel itself has a PREEMPT_RT option. Linux is so general purpose it can specialize.

Does that mean if you wanted to have an electronic leadscrew....single prime purpose..... for a lathe you would NOT use a Pi but an Arduino?
