what a bunch of trash! i bought the highest end X8 and I've had nothing but issues! how is this? I even bought the extra "Arduino pro board"....I wont say which one. But I've had nothing but issues with this device. I've bought at least 20 Arduino boards. I've never had an issue from my first mega and Uno. This one has been a nightmare for me. I've reached out to the Arduino folks. No answers! its got to be something easy....all their boards are easy to work with. But this is going to make me crazy. I can communicate and upload an easy blink sketch. But I can't not find any info on how to connect it to the cloud. I've posted and got ZERO responses. So this $300 US piece of (expletive deleted) goes back to them and ill post a bad review. This is a joke! This is my first Arduino device I've had issues with.
