Is Arduino the same as Raspberry Pi?

"Is Arduino the same as Raspberry Pi?"

Similar, but not the same. The Pi costs a little more, has more hardware features included on the board, runs Linux and has a larger support community while the Arduino is a more basic hardware package with your choice of several embedded operating systems - which may not be a benefit for new users that would like a simple Linux system but would be an absolute necessity for any applications that need high resolution timing. Arduino also has a smaller though very capable and very helpful community of users and developers.
