depends on what you want to make.

without context, id say raspi 3.

>>55551339
Im a total beginner and want to start doing stuff with it, maybe making a sound or some lights light up like a rainbow.

>>55551348
if you're more about doing stuff withhardware, an arduino will do. if you're more about software, raspbery pi all the way.

>sound or some lights light up like a rainbow

Get a gun and kys

But if you cant afford a gun, get an arduino, its easier for what you want

Also, arduino is a MICROCONTROLLER
and RB is a CPU
Have that on mind

>>55551348
so in that case, i'd go with an arduino. you may want to use neopixels for the LEDs.

let me know if you have more questions.

I'm fluent in python and would like to create little projects, software and hardware based

pls no bully

Im looking to do a project for my mother, I'd like to have (whichever one works) an arduino or rasberry pi board that emits a sound. I'd like the sound to be "Happy Birthday Mom" and maybe a birthday jingle after that. Would I need arduino or rasberry Pi for that?

What a faggot

And yes, and arduino would be optimal for your level, if you have any experience with electronics try another microcontroller, I suggest PIC.

But anyways, arduino has a funcion called tone, look for it faggot

Don't get a name brand arduino. You can get a chink brand from ebay for less than $5 and it is just as reliable and completely compatible with the arduino software

best for what purpose?
with Arduino you can make prototype your own board and make your project outside of dev kit.

with Raspberry while possible it is going to cost you an arm and a leg.

then yes, an arduino will do fine. the programs, called sketches, are written in what is pretty much C, according to my coding mentor.

if it were not for the anonymity of 4chan, i'd ask for you to follow up with me another day. because of this, i wish you good luck with your project for your mother.

*if not like c, then it is C

For what you want op you could also just get an ras pi and stick a blink stick in its usb port
