Raspberry Pi and Arduino

Working only with Raspberry Pi or only with Arduino is already nice: you can do a lot of projects. But sometimes, this is not enough. You will need to combine the strength of both boards: the power of software with Raspberry Pi (the brain) and the closeness to hardware with Arduino (the muscles).

When looking for tutorials or courses about this on the internet, I found that they are all simplified and work with a superficial setup, and only for that setup! If you add any component, any functionality, you’re going to be stuck.

In this course, you won’t get copy and paste examples but a complete (and efficient) step-by-step process to create any application with Arduino and Raspberry Pi. I will show you how to start a successful serial communication between the two boards and how to build an application with new components and features around this bridge. At the end of the course, you will be able to create your own custom projects with Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

Edouard Renard is a software engineer, entrepreneur, and robotics teacher. He enjoys teaching new technologies to people and makes complex stuff easy to understand. His method is simple and contains only three words—step by step.

He knows how hard it can be to learn a new topic and to be lost in an ocean of information without knowing what to do. In his courses, he makes sure that his students learn one step at a time through practicing and that students also learn the best practices.

Edouard is passionate about robotics. He cofounded a robotics startup in 2016, building a complete robotic arm from scratch with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Ubuntu, and ROS. He likes building cool new robotics projects in his free time.
