Good Day,
I have been working with the Arduino Uno and have reached some of its limitations primarily regarding memory storage for the purpose of storing sensor data. The time has come to purchase one of the following
1) SD card module for Arduino Uno
2) Esp32 and SD card module
3) Raspberry Pi
I've mostly decided to buy either 2 or 3 so my question to this forum is: Between Esp32 and Pi, which platform would you recommend? I am aware of the differences and have experience with both C and Linux. There are many features of the Pi that I don't care about such as web servers and GUI's although the additional investment (both time learning and money) may prove worthwhile.
My primary interests are:
- prototyping on breadboard where short circuits and unknown signals are relatively common
- basic robotics
- recording sensor data where a binary dump is sufficient
- scholastic experimentation
I am leaning towards the Esp32 for $16 vs a Pi that is currently upwards of $100 although this topic is concerning time spent learning one or the other, the costs per board are negligible.
Regards
Mark
