Lol I just got 4 more H2's delivered. Everything from my NAS to a couple more projects are getting one of these. It's a pretty convenient little board and surprisingly competent. I've got various ARM boards running some appliance tasks and they do a pretty good job but the H2's can do most a bit better.

The basic model is a bit over $200, and isn't *that* much bigger than a Raspberry Pi. Out of the box, the latency isn't great, but it's good enough for Mesa or Ethercat hardware. It runs on 12V DC out of the box, and it's apparently possible to special order a ~12-30VDC model, but I didn't want to wait.
Ahh thats where the Mintbox comes from. The fitlet only allows a single DDR3 SODIMM, while the H2 has Dual channel DDR4 SODIMM sockets, how much it matters for a machine control PC I couldn't say but my own use case benefits from dual channel. Is there any "standard" way to sort of benchmark latency? I just put another H2 together and haven't loaded an OS on it yet but I'd be curious to see what the latency of the H2 looks like compared to the fitlet.
