Raspberry Pi vs Arduino: Which Microcontroller Fits Your Project?

I’m diving into a project that involves automating a greenhouse—temperature sensors, humidity controllers, and camera monitoring. I’m torn between using a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino as the central controller. From what I understand, Arduino is great for real-time hardware interaction due to its simplicity and low power usage, while Raspberry Pi offers flexibility for networking, video, and multitasking.

I want to hear from folks who have worked with either (or both).

– Which worked better for automation?
– How steep was the learning curve?
– Any compatibility issues with sensors or modules?

Bonus points if you can recommend some beginner-friendly tutorials or guides. Let’s hash out which one reigns supreme for hobbyist automation projects!
