Course Description
Introduction:
In this course, we will be discussing the Arduino Vs Raspberry PI Vs PIC Microcontroller course. All three of these platforms are essential for anyone interested in embedded systems and microcontrollers. They each offer unique benefits depending on the user’s goals. We will cover the basics of each to help you make an informed decision on which one is right for you.
When it comes to choosing a single-board computer or controller, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and PIC Microcontroller are the big names you’ll consider. But which one should you choose? What is Arduino best used for? What are the drawbacks of using a Raspberry Pi? Why use PIC Microcontroller? This course will help you answer these questions.
For the purposes of this course, we’ll discuss PIC Microcontroller PIC164550, Arduino Uno R3, and the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. There are many versions of these boards, and plenty of alternatives that provide different specs and capabilities, but these three are the mainstays of each line.
Why you should take this course?
This course will teach you how to use all three platforms in-depth so you can choose which board best suits your needs.
You'll learn how to program your Arduino with C++, Python, and other popular languages.
We'll show you the basics of electronics with our LED Blink project, teaching you basic programming concepts like loops and conditional statements.
We'll teach you enough about microcontrollers to make a decision as to which one is the most suitable for your needs by going through the different features and functions of each board.

My expectation was not wast . It's my plesure to done this course and gain the knowledge and deffer between the Arduino & Raspberry & PIC . THANK YOU for your teaching . i'll approach some more course for my skill and knowledge development...
By Jose Mendoza on 1/18/2023
There is better information in the internet. Google Arduino vs. Raspberry pi, it was anointed to listening while I was reading. It is a power point presentation I can read the information without any body reading for me.
By Ben Jerek Caldito on 7/29/2020
Tells us the main differences between the three devices, mainly hardware and software related, their uses and specs. Generally, what's expected when you read the title and description of the course.

Great course. Now I better understand what is what and what to use and look for when I start a project.
By FARUK MAMANIAT on 10/27/2017
Thanks for the comparisons/review of the three "systems". I have a better idea on what to buy for my grandchildren.
By Mohammed Khan on 10/1/2017
Useful info and its worth to watch the lectures.. it would be more interesting to show the real device not images of them.
By David Barker on 7/13/2017
More information may have been helpful on the drive comparison capabilities of the I/O (e.g. Raspberry Pi , no AOuts and AIn are 3.3v) and the GPIO reassignments of some functions at the expense of others.
