Hi, This is to no one in particular, but more of a general statement and something a bit cheesy I don't do too often so I'm just gonna roll with it.
First things first. I can totally sympathise with the more frustrated users here on the forum, there have been targets set and missed and a general feeling of being forgotten about for this module - but I think some negative comments are too heavy handed and set the wrong idea for any new potential uptakes of Netduino products.
Now I'm sure secret labs will admit that their original targets and feedback on this thread could have been improved. But given what they know now, I'm sure that these guys would have been clearer about expectations when first announcing the ethernet product. The majority of us are software/hardware geeks, or know of the industry, and so we should all know that when we're dependent on a 3rd party who fail to meet our expectations, we know it's not our fault, but our customers don't. This appears to be exactly that. Now I am still a Netduino fan, and I'm impressed with what Chris and others have been able to accomplish. I've not been able to come up with very many hacks of my own yet, mainly because I'm more of a software buff than hardware which is why I love the Go!Bus. But I've been watching this thread like a hawk. And I can guarantee I'm not the only one doing so if you're reading this! I'd just like to iterate to Secret Labs that despite the negative comments that have already been made, don't loose faith in the community because there are people waiting and eager for these new products… And once these new products become available, and connectivity to things like the Ethernet, Gadgeteer, and the other modules you have in production are availiable - and combined with the simplicity of Go!Bus, I really think that the Go module's uptake will be huge, and the spark of creativity we all have will ignite a fire of excitement in the industry. Now it's really up to Secret Labs to really come up on top, and show us how some doubtful users are. We look forward to hearing more updates soon Chris.
