Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

    It’s far from industrial quality, but it still is getting used there. There’s a reason it’s a fraction of the cost of a proper PLC.

      Yep, exactly.

      If you can buy 10 Pis for the cost of one real PLC, and the only downtime you have if it fails is the time to swap the board and boot the machine back up it’s a no-brainer solution.
