For those types of devices, do you think a board built around something like a PSOC chip(fully programmable analog+digital+mcu chip) or something improved along those lines, give enough programmability to cover plenty of such devices and help implementers ?
- nine_k 9y agoThe hardware might be fine. With the software, it's already harder, it needs adaptation, if not writing from scratch. With sensors, it's fitting them to the unique mechanical circumstances of the one-off machine. And both if these you can't scale, can't reuse.

The single board computer we used was off the shelf, then modified to survive the conditions inside the enclosure (eg: adding conformal coatings). Making electronics survive those conditions is expensive and most people don't need that level of protection.
