Oh boy, just what we need. Drama between open hardware vendors. Neither of these responses feels like the complete story to me. I hope there's a path forward to heal this rift in one way or another. Both SparkFun and Adafruit are doing amazing things for the community and I would love to see both continue to thrive.
- beambot 9mo agoSeems to be the inevitable trend... Just in recent times: Pebble drama, Arduino joining the dark side, now Sparkfun & Adafruit. End of an era
- ptorrone 9mo agowe are sticking with open source, arduino has moved away from that and sparkfun has an open-source certification revoked due to not being open source.
- qingcharles 9mo agoWhat's the drama with Pebble? I thought everything was rosy since the reboot?
- itintheory 9mo agoThere was conflict between the new (old) hardware manufacturer Core Devices, and the Rebble community that's maintained the app store and software for the original Pebbles. I think they've worked it out, but it got ugly for a bit.
- PlatoIsADisease 9mo ago> Arduino joining the dark side What happened?
- cyxxon 9mo agoNow owned by Qualcomm, not exactly know for their open source friendly attitude.
- tedivm 9mo agoNote that Sparkfun has been less and less of an "open hardware" vendor, as they've dropped the open aspect on some of their most popular projects.
