Arduino or raspberry pi, /g/? Which one should I get? Someone with both can tell some experiences?;

Get the one that will fulfill your needs better
>Arduino or raspberry pi
>thinks they're in the same class
you funny op

What is CHIP?
>>51673768
this, they're designed with different purposes in mind...
Could someone explain with examples then?
Can't you make the same things that arduino thas with pi's GPIO's?
>>51674319
yes and no
they aren't even the same type of device OP what the fuck drugs are you on
arduino is a microcontroller
pi is just a super inexpensive computer

Arduino to play with programming and hardware, pi to play with software.
Arduino is a microcontroller designed for electronics fast prototyping and shit.
Raspberry pi is a general-purpose microcomputer.

Pi you can use like a computer. Just plug a keyboard and screen and loaf an image and it rulez. Arduino is more for measure and control devices and. So it depends what you want to do. If you want to male media center take pi, if you want to control a simple robot take arduino.

What are your goals? Do you want to learn about electronics? If so, go with the Arduino.
Do you think that I could make a gameboy emulator that is also a music player with the zero? How would I go about doing this? I'm not the best at these types of projects
depends on your needs, OP.
I definitely recommend Arduinos for a media center, if that's what you want /s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s
Pi is really similar to a mac laptop, so if you like mac, then you should try that one. Arduino is more like windows. Of course, you can't run windows or mac on either one of these, but you can install gentoo on the Pi. It only takes a few months to get the initial install completed. Then you can work on getting X up and running if you have an HDMI device.

Yes. You would install retroarch and your choice of music player, and hook up a display. That's it. You don't need networking to do either of those things, but if you want you can use a USB OTG adaptor to hook it up to the internet
