Hi Mark, I'll save the $100.00 if there is no real downside.
I read the linked page, the standard Flash footprint looks pretty small and I didn't see anything about a temperature sensor. No stated wireless compatibility - but that may be more Linux related than HW. A question: Is the power consumption comparable between the two boards? In the end I don't have any real preference - but I'm thinking that after we're "finished" we have linux + control software in the onboard flash not a USB attached drive. Can we make a Linux file-system fit in that available flash and if not, what's the unit price with additional flash? Cheers, J.J.
