The Raspberry Pi Pico is both faster and cheaper than the Arduino Nano, but the nano has better resources and community.

Despite their similar appearances, Arduino and Raspberry Pi are two different classes of devices. Arduino is a microcontroller board, whereas Raspberry Pi is a single-board computer.

The Raspberry Pi RP2040 enables programming in C/C++ and MicroPython, and it ensures compatibility with several IDEs, including Visual Studio Code and the Arduino IDE.
