The SPI is so well supported it's actually a device in the !RaspberryPi kernel: /dev/spidev0 -

That's the SPI protocol, and it's very well supported in the hardware of both !RaspberryPi and #Arduino -

Now @Tonious explains the use of shift registers and an old debugging protocol he uses to transfer data -

But, sadly, it doesn't work. @Tonious explains this is due to a new bootloader, which has tighter timings -

@Tonious explains how serial protocols work. Remember start bits, stop bits? -

@Tonious wants to minimize, reduce the #Arduino to just one chip, shows us a breadboard with five components -

and @Tonious compares that to the hardware on an #Arduino, which has maybe one quarter the hardware, far less complex -

According to @Tonious, the !RaspberryPi 3 draws about 800 mW, enough that an Apple charger with 1m cable won't work -
