A Comparative Study of Arduino, Raspberry Pi and ESP8266 as IoT Development Board

Internet of Things is a striding platform where every day devices are transformed into an automated informative system with intelligent means of communicating protocols. The available development boards for deploying elementary Internet of Things systems and programming them pave conformation of related fields. The lack of overall functional knowledge and the capabilities of the available means of development boards is presently resisting the engineers to get through the scope of Internet of Things centric approaches. This paper provides Internet of Things oriented comparison of various boards with suitable selection of the hardware development platforms that are capable enough to improve the understanding technology, and methodology to facilitate developer’s requirements. This paper also summarizes various capabilities of available hardware development platforms for IoT and provides a method to solve real-life problems by building and deployment of powerful Internet of Things notions.
