Former Member

Well, I have just discovered the amazing world of electronic devices and I would like to begin with some basic equipments and machines. So for that reason, I would llike to know if buying a rapberry pi could be the best way to start or it will be really complex for a beginner. Thanks for the answer, I hope you could help me and give me some advices and ideas.

    Alejandro, The answer is it depends! The price is very low and with the Libraries installed it hides most of the complexity of the device.

    If you only have a very simple application in mind then maybe an Arduino would be more appropriate. However the moment you need networking/ Sound/ Storage then the RPI beats it hands down and really you are better with the RPI than buying lots of individual modules.

    If you know C++ I think you can deal with the complexities of the RPI no problem if that answers your question?
