okay thanks. around $100 is affordable for my project ideas

I found a coupe of small Seimen PLCs on amazon for under $200

another Noob question,
what programming language would these use?

oops, meant for >>1517227

>What is hardware general?
Hardware general is a thread to discuss anything pertaining to the hardware side of technolo/g/y, be it computer architecture, data sheets for that new processor, low-level language design, robotics, server construction, or a cool make project; If its /hard/ it belongs on /hard/ware general. It has a sister thread on >>>/diy/ohm/. There is some overlap between the two but they differ significantly in their focus.
