Abstract

Peanut butter and jelly. Batman and Robin. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Some things are just meant to go together, and we know it from the moment we first lay eyes on the combination. Such is the case with the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino. Many hobbyists and engineers (including me) had been using the Arduino for projects, but were wishing there was a device similar in size with just a bit more power. Well, our wishes were granted with the introduction of the Pi. It has more power than the Arduino (the Arduino is only a microcontroller), and it has a full ARM processor.
