Netduino 3

Secret Labs is apparently a one-man show, and that man - Chris Walker - has disappeared from the internet.Worse yet, nobody is managing their forum, so while you can create a new account, you can't post anything. That forum was the center of their support community, so new customers are not able to participate in that community. So there is no way to get support.And there is no way to download the source code to the firmware. Contrary to the claims of being open sources, that is only true for the older models. He apparently intended to make the source available, but that doesn't really matter - he disappeared before following through.If the forum worked, I could get the help I need to finish my project, and I could rate this product based on the hardware rather than on the collapse of the company that made it. But without access to the community, there's no support, so the quality of the hardware doesn't really matter unless you're lucky enough to find that someone else has already asked whatever question you might have.

This is just a warning and I will admit I did not buy one of these but was looking to. On the netduino site forum it sounds like there wiki is offline and the owner is missing after raising a large sum of money on Kickstarter. Some are speculating he ran off with the money. I can't attest to that but I will say it may me decide to look at other controller boards after the comments I read. If it is still active it seems to be good, but until I hear more on this situation I am not getting any netduino products.
