Pick Between A Raspberry Pi And An Arduino With This Rule Of Thumb

Pick Between A Raspberry Pi And An Arduino With This Rule Of Thumb

There are some cases where picking between the Raspberry Pi and an Arduino are easy (like when Linux is involved), but oftentimes it’s hard to make a choice between the two. Make came up with a simple question to help you decide.

Obviously, this is a complex topic with a lot of variables, but Make came up with an easy rule of thumb:

Think about what you want your project to do. If you can describe it with less than two ‘and’s, get an Arduino. If you need more than two ‘and’s, get a Raspberry Pi.

It’s a pretty good rule of them, all things considered. It’s often hard to figure out just how complex a project needs to be to need a Pi, and this a good place to start.
