Have you seen the new model's Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi 3 is a small and light version of this new product is for you. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A + has a 1.4GHz, 4-core 64-bit ARM processor. In addition to the dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN connection, there is also a Bluetooth 4.2 / BLE on it as well as a USB 2.0 port.
What is The Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi is a single card computer. This means that all units, such as the processor, RAM memory, input / output required for a computer, are collected on a single circuit board. Thanks to its compact design and compact structure, we can also use these computers as desktop computers by connecting peripherals such as robotic projects, smart home systems, embedded systems, kiosks or even keyboard / mouse and display. Computers such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino and microcontroller cards, such as the power of the power is not enough, and more than one process at the same time (eg web-based mobile robot ) is preferred. Raspberry Pi is able to run a specially developed operating system called Linux 10 operating systems and Windows 10 IoT Core (this operating system does not provide a desktop like Windows 10 on our PCs).
What Can I Do with Raspberry Pi?
You need software knowledge with Raspberry Pi to develop projects. Usually beginners prefer Python to program this card, which is often used with Linux operating systems. In addition, programming is possible using almost all programming languages that can be run on the Linux operating system. The Windows 10 IoT Core operating system allows you to program with C #. With the GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi, you can flash LED lights, control the motor movement, detect with various sensors, and use the relay cards to switch the electronic devices on and off. In addition, it is possible to use your Raspberry Pi as a computer and use it in applications such as an internet connected music player, a media center where you can watch a movie, and a security camera.

What is the Difference of Arduino and Raspberry Pi?
The biggest difference between microcontrollers and single card computers such as Raspberry Pi is that the microcontrollers are successful in performing a single operation in real time; however, single-card computers have the ability to perform multiple operations at the same time. For example, while running a file server on your Raspberry Pi, it is also possible to browse the Internet using desktop applications. For most robotic projects, the performance of microcontrollers such as Arduino is sufficient. Raspberry Pi cards, such as the need for special processing in your robotic projects will be more logical to choose.
