oh ! okay gotcha . thanks for explaining that <| sep |> How is the player base on Ps 4 ? <| sep |> alcohol tastes like crapand brandy is the worst <| sep |> This is exactly what I just tried . I think I got it working . Thank you ! <| sep |> Arduino is , probably among other things , branded hardware 3 rd party hardware and software ecosystem IDE . Arduino branded hardware tends to be the most expensive but the designs are open sourced . Compared to Pi , there are a LOT more third party hardware boards providing a very wide range of realworld control capabilities . In addition , there are a lot of 3 rd party libraries for accomplishing control tasks . Finally the Arduino IDE is not actually tied to Arduino hardware nor Atmel processors . Lots of hardware vendors have created ways to use the Arduino IDE to develop software for their boards . As was said , Arduino a doesn ' t have an operating system , it is more of a barebones system which makes it suitable for realtime control applications and there are lowpower options that easily work on batteries andor charge from solar indefinitely b Pi runs Linux and for general computing is more powerful and there are tons of Linux packagesapps available for doing what most people consider PC apps . So Arduino and Pi are something of apples vs oranges . But there are also a number of applications where you want to blend the realtime capabilities of Arduino with PC style computing of Pi . Look around the intertubes and you can find a lot of these projects . Robot control is a common one where people end up using both . Personally if I need realtime control I go with a board from the Arduino ecosystem there are some cheap ones these days that include Wifi and ample memory . But if your point is that the official Arduino stuff is on the pricey side I agree . I rarely buy from Arduino due to price especially for a board with Wifi capability and ample RAM .
