Why is this still being sold as there is no support from SL there has been NO update in 2014.

 

There where all sorts of things promised for the last 2 years but none of them have been delivered.

 

This is what we call Tortious Misrepresentation.

Chris this is my finaly call to SL to get te facts straight.

 

The GO is NOT a kickstarter product where you just ignore your backers.

 

The company is liable in this case.

 

It is not us the customers who do this to the company, it is time you look into the mirrror.

 

Best regards,

I agree, if they are not going to support the GO architecture/products ... end of life them and be done with it.  Stringing GO customers along with empty promises for years is criminal.

Hi beastyboy, Eric, Fred:

I'm really sorry for the frustration with Netduino Go.

Netduino Go is open source and we're putting reinvesting profits from the boards to create new hardware and software accessories as possible. We will continue to support the existing hardware, including the half dozen boards (mainboard + 5 modules) shipping today.

I know that five modules isn't a lot and that all the ports on the mainboards are just begging for more. We have designed a half dozen new modules and will be putting those into production once the software is ready and everything passes our QA process.

Chris

Chris honestly you do not get it.

 

Do I really need to include the front opening image that shows the GO can talk to Hubs and Gadgeteer modules ? 

 

You are advertising the GO as a product for 2 years now stating it can use Hubs and talks to Gadgeteer modules.

 

Neither is true.

 

So you are representing the GO as a piece of hardware that has these capabilities but you are NOT delivering it.

 

That is what we call a misrepresentation of facts and the company is liable for such adverts.

 

So basically the company is lying and selling products that are not capable of doing the things they are advertised with.

 

"I'm really sorry for the frustration with Netduino Go."

 

Are you making fun Chris? 

 

I am pissed of with the company. There is no excuse anymore.

 

Its damn well the same ignorant way you treat the Agent Watch Backers.

 

Best regards,

Chris,

 

More of the same song we have been hearing since the GO complaints started.  I don't see how anything has changed at all.
