element 14 has launched Embedded Pi, which it says is a low cost 'triple play' platform that blends the Raspberry Pi, Arduino and 32bit embedded ARM communities.

While a Raspberry Pi is a full-fledged computer that can do more complex things than an Arduino microcontroller, it's not the best choice for every project.

The Raspberry Pi was designed as a platform to teach computer science to students. Given its low cost and wide availability, is it suitable as a platform for commercial embedded products?

That makes them particularly well suited for embedded applications. Many companies are using Raspberry Pi Compute Modules in commercial products.

How do Arduino and Raspberry Pi compare? We break down both sides of the DIY story and provide examples of why each may be best for your particular project.

Raspberry Pi gets more Arduino-y with new open source modular hardware Compute module and open source I/O board open path to embedded Pi.

The library should be expandable to any application where machine learning would be beneficial for a small embedded system, though, so it’s not limited to these example applications.

Since the Arduino was launched years ago, many ‘shields’ or add-on boards providing additional functionality have been released. There are hundreds of different shields, from video capt… ...
