No price. Shame.
Basically, it’s a very nice industrial class touchpanel case with options of enclosing some very useful I/O solutions in the same case.
The SD card’s going to be a constrainer. The thing halts and skips a bit if your application needs storage access- the SD has to be “right” along with you “overclocking” it on a Pi3 for it to be consistent in access speed. You’ll want a U-1 rated UHS-I card or better, and preferably an A1 rated card to make this rock.
Well
There are industrial SD’s with better life ^ don’t remember class / speed wise.
Everything I’ve been reading is that people that have tried to use RPi’s in products very quickly have major SD card problems and have to swap out cards once a year or so. There are similar products at a similar price point that come with built-in storage
SD cards wear out when (sloppily) running them under an OS that considers them an HDD: lots of writes…
Need to use an OS fully running in RAM (OpenWRT/LEDE, Openelec, …), a filesystem with wear-leveling or a combination of both.
