Quoted from russdx:It was not the personal use of the pinDMD2 that annoyed me it was the fact you created a thread on a public forum and with very clear and detailed instructions told every one else how to do it as well!!! Why do this? The only outcome of that move was that it would hurt my sales, as of course every one would rather go down the free route then help support a product in a niche market. That's what really annoyed me! And then the store owner just plain out right created/sold clones FROM YOUR INSTRUCTIONS (he would not of been able to do this without your help!) is where I drew the line and legal threats were made.
Stuff like this just sucks the life out of being creative/innovative in this hobby and destroys all enthusiasm I have to create products like this.
You are totally right ! Problem was that pindmd2 was not available in the EU that days and I think also not in the US (not 100% sure). My first contact to you was with the question were to get a pindmd2 in Europe.
In fact I never published the correct pinout but only a wild guess. If you read the thread closely you will see that it started with the question if another pindmd2 user could measure the pinout. The very next post was from vpin-shop.de (djjoke) who was already planning to bring a clone to market.
Hello.
I'm a step ahead of you.
Have already ordered another board to
To make the problem out of the world ....
Hope it works and Virtuapin does not stress.
He told me in a PM that he had the approval from you, which seemed to be a big misunderstanding. I personally was only happy to have a solution for my cab.
However my question in flippermarkt came handy for Noah from Virtuapin to delete my posts in vpforums about pin2dmd a few weeks later to get rid of the competition against pindmd3 which was already planned but not announced.
