Hello,
I am a retired engineer who wasn’t around when Arduino or Raspberry Pi became popular. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to start to learn about these devices and their applications? We are currently in the US but hope to return to our sailboat in Panama. I find myself wishing for products that could do this or that ( like monitor things on board like electrical pump cycles, or switch relays for certain purposes based on different sensors, etc) and think those two platforms could be set up to do some of those things. I am not opposed to buying “learning kits” to better understand their operation by hands on experiences.
