Hi
I feel exactly like you about the quad, mainly because of the software and how you operate it. I didn’t know about the push button functions on the left/right switches until justblair detected it, not very user friendly and probably a big reason why they feel “flimsy”.
Wonder why seeed started from nano firmware 2.5e then? I suspected for a long time that seeed does not have any control over the development, especially not the software. Everything is done by someone else outside seeed (bure e-Design Co.,Ltd.?) and seeed just have to accept what they get and market that. e-Design seem to run the minidso site which does not seem to have any connections to seeed? e-Design may not even know about the BenF firmware. Why is there always hardware design differences between e-Design and seeed? Did seeed develop it and e-Design made a copy or is it the other way around? In my posts in the past I have tried to gather facts of the relationship between seeed and e-Design but any such post is unanswered by seeed. And we have never seen a real DSO software or hardware developer from seeed here on the forum (AFAIK). Only people from seeed that have been able to make smaller hacks in the firmware, clearly not the original developers.
Don’t want to sound rude or back talk seeed but something is strange here. It can’t be seeed who is developing the nano or quad. Nothing strange with that, this is the point with open source hardware or software, anyone can do what they want with it but I get the impression that seeed is trying to make us think that they are the ones making everything on their own or is it me that got everything totally wrong here?
