I can’t wait until Cody starts going more into the basics and work its way out to advanced functions without getting into specifics of each vendor. Don’t be afraid to plug in B&R some of the stuff I work uses B&R and I’d definitely like to hear more about them and what makes stand out from the rest. Maybe I can make it a selling point even though I am just a technician.
Cool
