Doesn't the Arduino use a proprietary microcontroller?
- analog31 10y agoIndeed, that's a good point, and I have to humbly admit that I don't completely understand the fine points of "open source" hardware. AFAIK there are some interesting differences between the Arduino and the RPi. Apparently the RPi contains a chip whose full datasheet is not available to the public. So it violates one "free software" principle, i.e., the ability to understand and modify your stuff. Granted, I use hardware that is not considered "free," and don't worry too much about it.
