Today we’re sharing some truly exciting news: Arduino has entered into an agreement to join the Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. family! This is a huge step in our journey – one that allows us to keep growing, thriving, and making technology accessible to everyone, while bringing our values of openness, simplicity, and community spirit to an […]
If only they actually developed further instead of staying at that extremely low end for SO long. They could have partnered with Paul Stoffregen (Teensy) or whoever and pushed far further over the years.
Hearing them talk about growing is super odd in this context. It looked like they just wanted to chill the whole time.
The Arduino IDE is similar. You can still not select more of the console than what is visible. They completely broke it with 2.0 and do not fix it. It reverts all unsaved changes when you hibernate or sleep, absolutely ridiculous.
I seem to recall some business where Arduino split in half, that Arduino.cc and arduino.com were different entities, there was a trademark dispute leading to the “Genuino” name being used in some locales, there were some similar yet incompatible boards made, then Adafruit announced they were partnered with Arduino and would be the manufacturer for Arduinos sold in the United States, which then apparently fell through pretty hard because Adafruit won’t mention Arduino by name anymore. There was a brief stint working with Intel to make a couple x86 based boards, which went nowhere because Intel can’t handle releasing documentation about their products, and then they sell to Qualcomm, and now we’re mourning the loss.
