[ale] Coursera: Arduino and C

[Byron Jeff]

Arduinos have two/three advantages:

1. No OS (generally) means much tighter systems control because of less overhead.
2. Built in ADC
3. Has 5V variants.

RasPi Advantages
1. Full blown Linux OS. So high level software packages are easy to install/use.
2. Much better onboard connections (HDMI, Ethernet, Wifi/Bluetooth) out of
   the box with RasPi 3 and ZeroW.
3. More memory.

I have both. Arduinos for little projects that don't need connectivity.
RasPi's for IoT deployments.

My next project is building my own EVSE for my Fiat 500e. It'll actually
have both. The Arduino for OpenEVSE and a RasPi Zero W as the wireless and
display interface. Amazingly you can get both from Microcenter for less
than $10 total.
