Is Arduino considered a good steward? I have heard rumblings of dissatisfaction about them in the past, but I do not know if those have any merit.

- colechristensen 4y agoIt’s a bit of bad wording that gives the wrong impression. It’s an “official” port of micropython to arduino boards. So more like “Micropython now supported by Ardunio on our boards” or something like that
- earthscienceman 4y agoI would still love to see te parent question answered.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoThere was a weird period about a decade ago when a business person was able to more or less take over Arduino leadership and pushed out the old founders. It was a split between arduino.org vs arduino.cc and each had their own boards. It was a mess for makers and uses to figure out but it's been long resolved, and last I saw Arduino was bought by ARM so likely has a lot more stability and less drama.
- duskwuff 4y ago> last I saw Arduino was bought by ARM I have no idea where you saw that, but it isn't true. Arduino sells some boards with ARM-based microcontrollers on them, but they have no official relationship with ARM.
