Raspberry Pi, Arduino, traditional MCU development board, how to choose? -part 2

2. Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charity organization registered in the United Kingdom, and Eben Upton was the project leader. In March 2012, Eben Epton of the University of Cambridge, UK, officially launched the world's smallest desktop computer, also known as a card computer. Its appearance is only the size of a credit card, but it has all the basic functions of a computer. This foundation aims to elevate computer science and related disciplines in schools and make computers interesting. The Foundation expects that this computer will continue to be developed and applied to more fields in both developing and developed countries. In 2006, the early concept of the Raspberry Pi was based on Atmel's ATmega644 MCU. The first batch of 10,000 "Taiwan" Raspberry Pi "boards" were manufactured by Chinese Taiwan and mainland manufacturers.

The Raspberry Pi is a mini-computer that integrates most of the things in your computer case onto a circuit board. There are no real differences between the monitor mouse and keyboard, etc. and your computer. The operating system is not the same. This is based on Linux system. If you are not familiar with this kind of operation, the arduino starter kit is still the best choice for you as a starter.

3. the traditional microcontroller
Microcontrollers (Microcontrollers) are integrated circuit chips that use a VLSI technology to provide central processing unit (CPU) with data processing capabilities, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), various I/O ports and interrupt systems, and timers. Functions such as counters(which may also include display driver circuits, pulse width modulation circuits, analog multiplexers, A/D converters, etc.) are integrated into a single chip to form a small and complete microcomputer system in the industry.  From the 80s of the last century, from the 4-digit, 8-bit microcontroller, to the current 300M high-speed microcontroller, it has wide application in the field of control.

Microcontroller called MCU microcontroller abroad, is to integrate CPURAMROM and so on into a single chip to form a single-chip microcomputer.
