I have been considering a deep dive into the arduino as a recipient of midi information from my synth rig to drive motorized movements in my sorta DIY on-rails camera system, but the more I read about Raspberry Pi (and considering I have a background in most of the common coding languages) do you think it would be overkill to take such a simple project as an excuse to learn the seemingly vastly more powerful Raspberry Pi environment in terms of long term usability on other projects? Integration with MAXmsp and what not has my brain percolating.
