The Raspberry Pi team has released the Pico, a $4 microcontroller that competes with Arduino.

During development / research for a project which needs more than 1 UART Port, the common replacement for the Raspberry Pi is the “Arduino MEGA”. This is because the MEGA provides 4 UART’s ...

These innovative devices offer seamless integration for ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Pico, Arduino, and Breakout boards, providing precision control for IoT projects.

Not only has Raspberry Pi launched its first microcontroller-class product - the Raspberry Pi Pico - but then Arduino have built on it with the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect.

The recently released Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect and Raspberry Pi Pico development boards are available from stock at Farnell. They are designed to accelerate development time and time-to-market.
