Oh, that touches on another interesting and important point.
Most development hardware, including Arduino boards, gets to skip a lot of standard EMI/EMC compliance testing because they're considered subassemblies and/or test equipment. Integrating them into a finished product means the integrator is going to be responsible for doing the testing and making any changes required for compliance -- at which point, they're probably better off building something equivalent themselves.

- fest 4y agoYeah, and once you solve the issue of EMI/EMC compliance for generic applications (that is, expanding your market appeal to be large enough to sustain a hockeystick growth VCs expect)- you basically end up with a PLC, which means you now get the opportunity to compete with Siemens, ABB, Allen Bradley and the likes.
