Raspberry Pi Or Arduino? Here’s Which Board Is Best For Your Project

Raspberry Pi and Arduino are two valuable tools for those who like to play around with electronics. Both these tools are very popular and are also very pocket-friendly. Each of them has their own pros and cons and also their own particular application. But how to decide which one is better for your projects?

Raspberry Pi is a system-on-chip or SOC. It runs a version of Linux called Raspbian. It also teaches the user while they are working on it. Arduino is a micro-controller that has a hugely supportive community and a lot of expansion options as well. On the release of Raspberry Pi, it was speculated that Arduino might end now. However, Raspberry Pi and Arduino perform different tasks and both have their disadvantages and advantages over each other. Let’s have a look at Raspberry Pi and Arduino one by one to develop an understanding of them.

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a small computer on one board. It has a delicate processor, memory, graphics driver and input outputs like HDMI port. It runs a specially designed version of Linux on it. Linux software is very easy to install and it can be used as a media streamer or video game emulator with a little effort. Raspberry Pi lacks internal storage but you can use an SD card to overcome this problem. It gives you a lot of flexibility to try various operating systems and updates. Especially when it comes to debugging.

You can run multiple programs on it at the same time and can even use the Linux API as well. You can interact with the programs using a mouse and a keyboard and can see the operation on a monitor. Raspberry Pi can be set up using SSH or transferring files using FTP. It can also be used as a network bridge.

Pros of Raspberry Pi

It can be easily connected to the internet
It has the entire Linux software available
It can be programmed in many languages

Cons of Raspberry Pi

If CPU slows down the hardware interface gets delayed
It lacks the power to drive inductive load
It lacks an inbuilt analogue to digital converter
Its hardware is not open source

Arduino board is actually micro-controller unlike Raspberry Pi which is a full computer. It lacks a full operating system but can run a written code which is interpreted by its firmware. This makes the user lose access to the basic tools an OS provides but at the same time it also gives the flexibility to run the code directly without any OS overhead. It has no API and doesn’t provide any interactivity since there is no operating system. Arduino is best to use with sensors and other devices. It is also best to be used with hardware projects where sensor readings or other inputs are required to perform any task.

It might not impress you initially but it is a very sophisticated system which gives excellent management of devices. It can be interfaced with other devices where a full OS would be overkill for performing relatively simple tasks.

AIRBUS A380 CUSTOM ($500 MILLION) OWNED BY AL-WALEED BIN TALAL

Airbus A380 Custom ($500 million): This is the most expensive private jet in the world, owned by Al-Waleed Bin Talal from Saudi Arabia and a member of the Saudi royal family – House of Saud. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has the eighth-highest amount given to charity ($3.5 billion) among the greatest philanthropists. He’s the 50th richest man in the world. He has almost everything gold plated in the plane and comes with a solid gold throne in the middle. The jet is referred to as Kingdom in the Sky and comes with a Turkish bath, a garage where he can park his Rolls Royce and even a prayer room with electronic mat that automatically rotates to face Mecca.

Reno Omokri claims these monumental structures in Western countries are "dedicated to satan" then shares biblical passages to back his claim

Reno Omokri shared photos of some structures built in Western countries and alleged that they are dedicated to satan. He then shared biblical passages to back his claim. He shared photos of structures in London, Rome, Washington D.C. and New York and said they are the "Asherah Pole, a pagan idol" which "God detests and warns believers to avoid". He wrotes: 1 Kings 16:33, 2 Kings 23:6, Deuteronomy 16:21, Exodus 34:13 and many other verses of Scripture instruct us that an Asherah Pole is a pagan idol God detests and warns believers to avoid. But what is an Asherah Pole? Google it and check the images that describe it. An Asherah Pole is simply a phallic pole dedicated to satan. Almost all major cities in the West have an Asherah Pole hidden in plain sight!? #TableShaker kk

THE HISTORY OF ENUGU-EZIKE, SINGLE LARGEST AFRICAN COMMUNITY

Enugu-Ezike reputed as the largest single community in black Africa is located in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State of Nigeria. It has a population of about 259,431 with 36 villages in addition to some other newly created political autonomous communities. Enugu-Ezike has common boundaries with Benue and Kogi States of Nigeria. On the North is Ette, a non-Igbo speaking community in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area. On the East is Ofante and Idoma while the North West flank are Amaka and Akpanya communities of Benue State. To the South West is Ibagwa, Alor Agu, Unadu and Itchi. To the South East of Enugu-Ezike are Obollo Afor, Iheaka and Ovoko. Enugu Ezike is renowned for her palm wine, practice of traditional medicine and African Traditional Religion (ATR). As to the origin of Enugu-Ezike, various writers and researchers have come up with varied opinions about that. However, the one that appealed to me most has it that Enugu-Ezike originated from Benin Kingd
