Interesting. Given how much work that is, i have to imagine it's integrating a custom codesys (like beckhoff used to do) or something. Hard to believe they could do it all on their own that quickly. As for the rest - no disagreement, In practice though, i would trust the P1AM/etc over Arduino's product every day of the week. This is what they do. The thing is that if i needed something a little different, i'd just move to a different part of the Productivity line - a p1000 or p2000 or a p3000 (or something else from Koyo, who owns them all). If i needed ability to do "random things", i'd use a revolution pi, as you said. There are plenty of good things in this market, and arduino doesn't seem to actually bring anything meaningful to the table.
