Greetings
I'm wanting to use micro controllers in more of an industrial setting. Don't want to spend the $$$$$$$$$$$ to get the officially hardened etc etc etc models.
Looking for information - - - - - there's piles on using Arduino, Raspberry Pi but they're not really developed for serious use (one point - - - - almost always have to add a cape or a shield to get real connectivity - - - - don't need the the hp waste that's RPi so I"d rather not use that . . . .) Trying to find other ucontroller boards - - - - can find plenty of SoB - - - - but not boards. Hoping to use open source tools for the programming and control.
Any suggestions as to where to look for this kind of stuff?
Am I wasting my time? (I hope not!!)
TIA

I have had great success with Arduino mega, mini and Adafruit Huzzah feathers. Not in industrial settings though. The Huzzahs are relatively inexpensive and have wireless built in. All can be developed with the Arduino IDE, which is tolerable. I use the Huzzahs for indoor/outdoor Temp/Humidity/Pressure sensing, for tracking power consumption on my hydro and have used it for net enabled fan control and for, errr, cat feeding scheduling (Not a success, but due to the cat). I bought all the micros at Creatron when it was open, and the odd purchase of ICs from Amazon has worked for me. -- Michael Galea
