Raspberry Pi vs Arduino Uno

Updated 1st June 2018

The Raspberry Pi is a general purpose computer, more often than not running under a Linux Operating System (OS).

Raspberry Pi’s can run multiple complex programs.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board which is a simpler computer (compared to the Raspberry Pi) and can run one program at a time.

The Arduino Uno is very easy to use and is ideal for the beginner to Hackerspaces/Makespaces.
