Updated: Arduino Opta

I ordered an Arduino Opta (RS485 version) and it has arrived – stay tuned for upcoming posts!

In the meantime, I’ve updated my initial review as it has been confirmed that the digital inputs support 24VDC. Programming support for IEC 61131-3 PLC languages has also been clarified (no MacOS support sadly).
