What is your take on Qualcomm Arduino becoming Persona Non Grata

colporteur

I'm a big Arduino fan. I recall the purchase announcement.

I chimed in at the time but I've been sidelined for the last year on microcontroller project so I have to experience to speak of.

I read this article and thought E14 peoples could share their insight.

  • More then 200 people is interested in getting Ventuno and revieweing it here on Element14, so I would say it is quite popular: Ventuno Q RoadTest. In fact it is the most popular device we have seen there in at least last 5 years.

    At the same time stocks at distributors are mostly full and it is questionable if Uno Q sells well? To me it seems that many hobbyyists are interested in free Uno Q (like Hackster gave 300 units as part of some competition, E14/Farnell also gave them away in high quanties in various competitions compared to other HW). But I am not sure how many free Uno Q recipients made something production grade with it and bought actual units afterwards. (My personal score: 3 free units, 0 bought Smiley)

    A sample size of 200 seems pretty insignificant to me to measure popularity. 

    I hadnt been able to score a free one so my on hand inventory remains 0. 

    I have several RPis already and the Arduino Q is like a RPi with a built in Arduino with no easy way for them to share a register table.
