I know a number of people who bought a Pi, figured out how easy it was to hook up software to some GPIO pins, then got into microcontrollers and basic electronics afterwards.
It's also funny to see how many Pis out there in the world are doing a task using 1-2W of power continuously for years, where a little microcontroller and a sleep could do the same task using a few mW :D

- beardyw 5y agoIt would depend on what you are trying to do, if you are familiar with C etc. In some ways it is simpler, because your program is all there is.
