Documentation and software support often seems to be Raspberry's major advantage. While more niche but powerful hardware existed for a long time in between generations of the Pi the lack of software support/community around it left it buggy and inconsistent. In this case time will tell if it continues to hold true.
- jml7c5 6y agoIs that as important for a microcontroller, though? It's not like Linux on an SoC, where the pain is vendor kernels that are buggy, incomplete, and/or outdated.
- luto 6y agoIt is for people just starting out.
- lostlogin 6y agoArduino runs on ESP8266 and ESP32 chips. It’s a nice introduction to that world, with hardware that’s so inexpensive that it removes the fear of damaging something with a bad connection.
