The difficulty I'm having is that there's never an overview of these projects telling you what's going on. If you have followed all 7000 posts of the discussion over the years you'd know, but there's never a summary and "where we are now".
Like, this started as the OpenRevolt project, and there's still a wiki for that, but it hasn't been updated in ages and there's no files available. There's no one that tells you that it kinda switched over to the P&S site and that it's not as open anymore. Or that there are old versions with errors in them, that you'd never get told unless you asked the right person. There was never a wrapup posted that, this is X and X works this way.
Paul's said stuff like "Oh we lost those files 8 years ago, there are no more boards like that" etc. Which is fine, it's just, unless you stumble across those specific posts, you don't even know what you don't know.
I would like to build a simple DC controller, but I can't find decent documentation on any controller that was at any stage of 'This now works." Only "Here was a revision as we were working on things".
Just my two cents. I'm not saying anyone owes me anything (they don't), I'm just lamenting that, from someone who wants to take advantage of this open source project (kinda the point of having one?), it doesn't feel accessible to me. Unless, it seems, I was capable of engineering it myself, which defeats the purpose.
