Which is more powerful Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

Which is more powerful Arduino or Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is 40 times faster than an Arduino when it comes to clock speed. Even more seemingly damning for Arduino, Pi has 128,000 times more RAM. It might sound like Raspberry Pi is superior to Arduino, but that’s only when it comes to software applications.

What’s the difference between Arduino and Raspberry Pi?

The main difference between them is: Arduino is microcontroller board, while Raspberry Pi is a microprocessor based mini computer (SBC). The Microcontroller on the Arduino board contains the CPU, RAM and ROM. All the additional hardware on Arduino Board is for power supply, programming and IO Connectivity.

What is the maximum current an Arduino can handle?

Most Arduino pins can handle 5VDC, and according to the official Arduino store URL, 20ma of continuous current. However, other sources suggest an Arduino I/O pin can handle 40ma as an absolute maximum (without damage to the Arduino).

Which pins of Arduino Uno are compatible with PWM?

The Arduino Uno pins compatible with PWM are the pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11. So you have 6 pins where you can create a PWM, using the analogWrite () function.

How much power can an Arduino I/O pin handle?

However, other sources suggest an Arduino I/O pin can handle 40ma as an absolute maximum (without damage to the Arduino). Thirty (30) ma of continuous power should not present a problem for these pins under normal circumstances, although I try to follow the recommendation of 20ma.

What devices can be connected to an Arduino?

To control devices, such as motors, lamps, coffee makers, toasters, etc. that require more voltage and/or current than can be handled directly by the Arduino pins, we need to place a device between the Arduino and those higher requirement devices. LEDs, 3mm, 5mm, or 10mm, can usually be controlled directly from the Arduino’s pins.
