I have an earlier Raspberry Pi (B model) and an Arduino 2560 and have not fully understood their different capacities. The Arduino is a “micro controller” and the Pi basically a mini computer, but there is considerable overlap.
I want to know which one will best operate my Stepford wife.
(OK, just kidding.)
Depends on whether you intend to use optical isolators ;-).

There are a lot of people who are using these things (pretty expensive) when a $1.00 microcontroller like a PIC from Microchip will do. They are harder to program but at least you learn some engineering. I’m stone age and still use through-hole parts, but the only difference is my stuff is a little larger.
I didn't build it, but I know the guy that did and this thing is incredible.
