Another key differentiating factor between the two platforms is connectivity. Not only does the Raspberry Pi sport more I/O pins than the Arduino, but it has a good range of communication ports, too. You can effortlessly add internet connectivity to your Raspberry Pi using the Ethernet port. This unlocks numerous possibilities when it comes to building projects with the microcomputer.
With just a few resources and time on your hands, you can set up a web server on a Raspberry Pi. This can then be used for a plethora of purposes, such as a dedicated VPN or ad blocking service, a wireless file management system, or a cost-free way to host websites. By installing the Apache web server and routing your mini computer to the internet, you can transform your Raspberry Pi into a personal server that can then perform a variety of tasks.
Tired of trying to remember all your passwords, but don’t want to lay your trust in a third-party service? You can host your own password manager using the right configuration on your Raspberry Pi. Certain models of the Raspberry Pi can connect to the internet using Wi-Fi as well.
