01Pick by the requirement
Need a tight, power-sipping control loop and nothing else? An MCU. Need vision, networking, a database or ML? A Pi. Need both deterministic control and intelligence? Use both, with the MCU as the Pi's real-time co-processor.
Common questions
The ones we're asked on every first call.
Because vision, ML, modern networking and a real OS are impractical on a microcontroller. The Pi handles those; the MCU handles the microsecond timing. Together they cover what neither does alone.
