Arduino ide alternative7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() The Model B, the most complete version, is sold since February 2012 and the model A, since February 2013. Raspberry Pi has no hard drive (it uses a SD card) or power supply. It has a System-on-a-chip Broadcom BCM2835, with a 700 MHz central processor, a graphics processor (GPU) and a 512 MB RAM memory. Raspberry Pi is a low cost Single Board Computer (SBC) developed by the British Raspberry Pi Foundation. Raspberry Pi, a British low-cost minicomputer ![]() And that is reflected in Google Insights’ most important trends. Clearly, Arduino and Raspberry Pi are the ones receiving the most attention within the community of software developers. Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Sharks Cove, Minnowboard MAX, Nanode, Waspmote or LittleBits are some of the most interesting alternatives to Arduino. It is the most known and used, but it is not the only alternative within a market that is constantly growing. The embryo of the movement was the Arduino platform for open source, a motherboard with a microcontroller and its own development environment ( Processing/Wiring programming language and a bootloader), which can support a wide variety of entrepreneurial technology projects. However, some companies like Microsoft or Intel, attracted by this new line of business, are trying to compete in the market of low or medium price hardware. DIY brings together entrepreneurs and developers who use open source materials for their own technology. The DIY movement has always been linked to the creation of parts or devices aside from the major technological firms, who fight to control the patents. Anderson described it then as the new industrial revolution now, almost four years later, that definition doesn’t seem poetic madness. Smart textiles, drones, robots, computers, homemade wearables, the Internet of Things… Since Chris Anderson coined the term Do It Yourself (DIY) in 2010 in his article ‘In the next industrial revolution atoms are the new bits’, published in Wired magazine, many projects have been launched by open hardware, open source and crowdsourcing enthusiasts. ![]()
