Arduino
Arduino is already known as one of the best interactive programming printed circuit boards (PCB) developer and provider that becomes more and more popular. Arduino is both the name of the company and the brand given to most of its products. Arduino devices are small computers (PCBs) that are able to read many types of inputs, e.g. light on a sensor, a finger on a button, sending a message, issuing a sound. Then, the input signal is able to be turned into an output signal. This, in turn, may result in setting blinds, turning on the TV set and other activities depending on the board and the way it is used. Arduino boards are also called microcontrollers due to the fact that you can command yourself what a given board should do. In order to do so, however, you will need to know the basics of Arduino programming language and its software.
Nowadays Arduino is one of the most straightforward platforms for learning programming (and many other things!) and at the same time one of the most comprehensive ones. The latter feature results from the many dedicated overlays (Arduino Shields) and the extensive development environment (Arduino IDE). Check our offer below!

Arduino - FAQ
Arduino is the world's most popular open-source programming platform, built on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards read input data, such as light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message, and transform it into output data - they will turn on a motor, turn on an LED, write something for us on the Internet, or implement really advanced automation projects .
Arduino starter kits are a way to go through the entire process of learning and using the platform step by step, even if you only have basic knowledge of electronics and programming. We recommend the official Arduino StarterKit with Arduino UNO and comprehensive FORBOT kits and courses , approved by hobbyists and professionals, entirely in Polish!
Often juxtaposed together and next to each other, although fundamentally very different. Let's put it simply: the main difference between Arduino and RPi is, Arduino is a microcontroller board, while Raspberry Pi is a microprocessor-based Single Board Computer (SBC). The microcontroller on the Arduino board contains a processor, RAM and ROM. All the additional hardware on the Arduino board is used for power, connection and finally programming.
Original Arduino main modules from the basic series start at just over PLN 80 each - we are talking about Arduino Leonardo . The original Arduino UNO Rev3 , beloved by beginners, costs about PLN 100. There are also cheaper micro modules and boards based on Arduino - the price varies depending on the application and the Arduino series (basic, Nano, MKR, Portenta).
