A Raspberry Pi usually runs a full Linux operating system , meaning that there ' s a lot of programs running on it that you didn ' t write . On the other hand , by running a full OS you get a lot of extra features and libraries . In general , if you want your controller to do one thing like checking a weather station , then use an Arduino . If you want your project to do multiple things like check a weather station , put it on a web page , email you the records for today , and report the information to a meteorology group , then use a Raspberry Pi .
