An overview of choices.
Microcontrollers are essentially tiny little, specific-use computers or also things like Raspberry Pi’s which blend Microcontrollers and full-blown computers.
| Raspberry Pi | from $35 | Full computer-like capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi Zero | From $10 | Computer-like, also - basic uses only |
| Raspberry Pi Pico | From $4 | No display out, but can still handle complex inputs & outputs via the GPIO pins. |
