There ide as of now isn’t much

 

In actuality, the UNO was simply an AVR chip with what it needed to run and a simple plug-in connectors rail. It got cloned the heck out of. Several more progressive chips were put in clones. Then it shrank down to just a plug-in module. The AVR chips were improved and much of the need for peripheral support was internalized into the chips. That's not going away...

 

My thoughts, exactly.
And fairly soon they might decide that the open source model doesn’t satisfy their corporate EBDITA criteria, and start charging a subscription fee for a proprietary IDE.

Oh geeze, now that is scary. I am wondering where all this "subscription" crap started.

I guess you don’t have a uno q it’s not using the arduino ide I’ve used that in VS it using arduino app lab and that is slow and is buggy you update it almost every time you use it

 

 

Those are pic of its lde

 

That’s the Deb os running on the computer side it’s really not bad the xfce there using is snappy

You are correct, as of now.

But in the future, when newer devices with newer features become available, they may decide to release a closed, subscription based IDE.

 

If so, it is likely they will loose all or a big part of the old Arduino clients, and these will move to another solution.

 

these will move to another solution.

Or, keep using the clone AVR chip devices... They do a pretty good job for what they are now with the Nano module.

I guess I could even move back to Microchip if I had to. I could even use the controller board I created back in the 1990's based on the Z80 CPU (ha ha, last resort).

 

We used to call that scalability. Kind of choose your hammer based on your need to fulfill the task in a reasonable fashion. I see a similarity between this and the early IBM PC clones days. Only in the case of Arduino, it was acting as an analog & digital mini logic controller. Something the PC was not intended for. There is not the absolute need for growth with the Arduino and the true skill after learning to use the Arduino was to program the single ATtiny chip and you get to choose just which chip meets the needs of your application. Of course, bigger chips do bigger things and the capabilities of the Arduino continues to increase and improve while the is still the market for the lowly ATtiny.

 

It seems to be that it used to be whoever has the gold makes the rules, but now it's whoever has the gold and makes the software makes the rules.

 

I'm wondering what their market is they are looking at ?
Is it the "home" AI automation ?
Building AI into "art"

The original Arduino was effectively chip agnostic , as you wrote in the Arduino language , and the tools mangled that to the chip..
Meant over the years many different and dissimilar chips have been used

I can't see Qualcomm promoting other companies chips , and Qualcomm tend to be in the high power , highly dedicated , short life cycle chips .

Exactly opposite of the traditional Arduino

Are they trying to take on the Raspberry pi ?

I have feeling days of being able to hack together a quick but of code to say test a new I2C peripheral might be dying.

 

That’s about what it is a raspberry pie to do the programming of the smaller chip I/O it’s not bad but it’s got some bugs

 

My advice I guess is to back up your current IDE several times you may need it in the future.

 

I been playing with the AI but this remines me of linux years ago the Q is using something to use a Mic on Linux side but It's not what the brick is using. and Its to new to find where there hidding the config for sound

 

That didn't take long.

It’s not even that good every time you use it you got update it and sometimes that don’t work the first time. It’s mandatory. To up data
