The Arduino is a better choice for beginners because it is less advanced than the Raspberry Pi. Users can tell the device what to do by coding on the Arduino software when connected to the PC.

The Raspberry Pi Pico is both faster and cheaper than the Arduino Nano, but the nano has better resources and community.

The Raspberry Pi team has released the Pico, a $4 microcontroller that competes with Arduino.

How do Arduino and Raspberry Pi compare? We break down both sides of the DIY story and provide examples of why each may be best for your particular project.

Now, a project called UDOO ("you do") seeks to bring the best elements of Raspberry Pi and Arduino together into a single mini-PC that can run either Android or Linux.
