SurfingDude:
When Arduino.cc took back Arduino.org didn't they also get the manufacturing facility? If so, we don't need contract manufacturers, we just need some reasonable management. Or did Musto destroy the tooling??
Many of the arduino.org boards were never open souirce. Linino and doghunter (companies of F. Musto ) did not release the necessary files. The Arduino Tian is just one example. To produce the Arduino Tian would require it to be re-engineered from the beginning. Many of the Arduino.org files are in DSN format. the Schematics have errors and/or out-of-date.
Arduino.cc is not talking to the Arduino Community. They need to start talking now. If they are waiting till later there may not be an Arduino community left.
12 laser cut wood mounting boards for Arduino boards just disappeared from my shopping cart. No warning. Nothing. Just deleted.
My patience is wearing thin.
