It seems like a lot of people confuse the Arduino (and hence micro-controllers) with the Raspberry Pi, and they have very different uses. Let's talk about them briefly, and I'll even show you how I am using Arduino Mega 2560s in my R2-D2 build! (This video has been updated to correct an error in the original video.)
