A comment on Arduino Goes Pro at CES 2020. Parent comment
If they could have a kid...
Arduino:
- crappy software environment, and no networking. (designed by hardware guys?)
+ wonderful hardware.
+ The pins are female and don't accidentally short on things.
+ There are a variety of devices available with the number of pins you need.
+ Powering the device is simple and straightforward.
+ Driving different types of hardware is easy.
Raspberry Pi:
- terrible hardware. (designed by software guys?)
- hard to power. Must be 5v, power supply must be carefully chosen, lots of limits.
- pins are male. who does this?
- hardware arbitrarily (capricously?) changed from release to relase (moved LEDs, etc..)
- hard to drive different hardware
+ software is wonderful.
+ you can run a variety of operating systems.
+ you can run really high level software (python, GUI, machine learning, compiler, web server, ... so much more)
+ networking (all the kinds)
