I saw a reference on the 'Net (some digging might turn it up again) that one or another Netduino Go sensors had been discontinued due to lack of market (i.e. nobody was buying them). [Was it on the [nwazet site?]
At the time I was deep into the "Netduino vs Gadgeteer" decision process, and that unsettled me.
Further: I just read a news blurb from Microsoft about their commitment to the Internet Of (Your) Things, and neither .NET MF, Netduino (or Gadgeteer) was mentioned at all. (Again, a URL could likely be found again if required.)
All of these events lead me to ask, "Is the Netduino and/or the Gadgeteer still a viable product now and into the near future?" I don't want to commit a bunch of time & money building a development environment for an "orphaned" product.
It does seem that .NET MF continues to march forward, but as a community project, without Microsoft sanction but is that enough? Is Secret Labs still committed to hardware production? And will there be new device drivers in the future?
I would really like the answer to all of these questions to be a resounding, "Yes!" but honesty is really better. Should I continue to invest my time & money in NETMF and Netduino?
Thanks,
Tom.
