Find out what are the differences between the Unipi Neuron and Unipi Axon product lines.

Unipi Neuron and Unipi Axon product lines represent compact and powerful controllers suitable for a wide range of applications. The Neuron line, based on the Raspberry Pi computer and utilizing an external memory card, is suitable for a wide range of automation projects, from smart home to HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) control to remote monitoring and management. The Axon line, being powered by an industrial computer with Allwinner-H5 quad-core ARM CPU and an 8GB eMMC onboard memory, is a good choice for industrial automation and other demanding environments (use in SCADA systems, photovoltaics etc.). On this link, you can also download the comparison in PDF format.

Note: The number and type of inputs, outputs and communication interfaces available on Neuron and Axon controllers differ depending on the specific model - see the input/output table below.
