Agreed. The good thing with the Arduino is that there is no OS to navigate - there are just 2 simple functions (setup and loop) where you put whatever you want to in, with some very simple intuitive functions (digitalWrite, analogWrite, ...). Compare that with what you need to do with the Pi for bare metal[1].

- willvarfar 10y agoA nice arduino-like "very simple intuitive functions" API ought be perfectly possible on a raspberry PI, and there ought be no need for bare metal programming of the PI to make that happen. When I blogged about how hard it was for me to find Raspberry PI robots in my country there was a discussion about it on proggit https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3zf04e/where_are_all_the_raspberry_pi_robots/ https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3zf04e/where_a... The crux seemed to be that nobody is doing real time kernels on the raspberry PI, and this is just a lack of software not an unsuitability of the hardware. I guess this just underlines that people have a £5 Zero and aren't scratching a "kids could learn to program by controlling robots with this!" itch?
