RasperryPi Feature Matrix

This post contains a feature matrix of all RaspberryPis including the famous single board computers as well as the micro controller boards.

Introduction

When searching for a micro controller to use for a simple thermometer, I was also taking a look at the Raspberry Pi Pico. Having used a RaspberryPi 3+ and 4 already, I took a look at the micro controllers. Unfortunately the RasperryPi products page does not contain a feature matrix. So therefore I compiled one myself.
