The Arduino team, known for providing various electronic and microcontroller components for do-it-yourself electronic hobbyists since 2005, has announced its new product, the Plug and Make Kit.

Arduino’s Plug and Make Kit lets your hacking imagination run wild, sans solder Daisy-chain tiny boards into weather stations, game controllers, and way more.

However, the Arduino can achieve several things that a Raspberry Pi can't. Arduino and Raspberry Pi models are both affordable, and there are many Raspberry Pi projects that won't break the bank.

Arduino kits include everything you need to build your own gadgets — with minimal coding knowledge.
