I've been using Espressobin V7 boards in several projects at my work and have a custom DIN rail mount case designed and 3D printed for it.
I tried purchasing more for upcoming projects and there is no option for payment on their website, the sales emails are not answered, and the phone number doesn't even pick up.
Does anyone know if they exist any longer?
I'm using this in industrial automation projects and like the small form factor, relatively low power, and don't want/need wireless.
Any recommended alternatives? I am considering Microtik because they have a small form factor, wide power supply input (i.e. 24V), etc. The only thing is that I'm familiar with OpenWrt and would like to stick to that as well as the linux universe (I have a time server package installed, ftp, USB storage, etc). Dual wired Gigabit is needed and I've stayed away from devices that use USB3 ethernet, but I don't really know if/when that would be a problem.
If anyone knows anything about this product or alternatives please let me know.
As discussed in the original post, I had not gotten an email returned at the time of writing, and the phone number just kept ringing and not picking up.
Within the last few days Globalscale has gotten back to me and reported that there was an issue with their website and it was being worked on. I am in the process of getting a quote for new boards through one of their sales contacts.
I like this board because it is low power and has native gigabit ports (not USB). It fits what we need to do, which is firewalling a factory machine's varied ethernet devices and routing a limited amount of data to our larger network (logging, database connectivity, etc). Some of the Raspberry Pi boards were based on USB3 ethernet and were power hungry quad core processors and what not. Seems overkill for what we need.
I still might look at Mircotik routers because they have some nice features like 5 ports, but I am familiar with and like OpenWrt at this point and its easier to continue down this road for now.
