Hey everyone,
I’ve been exploring Raspberry Pi for my projects, and I’m a bit confused about whether it’s considered a microcontroller or a microprocessor. I know it runs a full operating system like Linux, but it also has GPIO pins like a microcontroller.
I've also read an article on Is Raspberry Pi a Microcontroller or a Microprocessor? - Technetron Electronics, anyone read it before?
How exactly does Raspberry Pi compare to boards like Arduino in terms of processing and control? Does it function more like a traditional computer rather than a dedicated embedded system?
