Each development platform has its' own strengths and weaknesses, however synergy can be found when two platforms work together for a common goal. The following example demonstrates neatly how an Arduino board and LCD can work together with a Raspberry Pi to create an Internet-radio. The RPi receives the streaming audio, plays it through an external speaker - and displays relevant data on the LCD. It's relatively simple and it works, for example:
Another interesting example of Raspberry Pi and Arduino working together. And for more, we're on twitter and Google+, so follow us for news and product updates as well.
