Hello, i wanted to say i am sorry to all the people that may have been insulted by my last posts.
My intent was to stimulate discussion and point the attention to some problems that are relevant in my opinion, but i did it the wrong way and got carrtied away.
So, i am sorry and apologize to everybody, hoping i can still belong to this comunity and bring my contribution.
There is no such thing as perfect black and white on the InterTubes, nor existing human clones of emotionless Mr. Spock.

(Far from me to imply that you’ve been unreasonable, btw)
Welcome back! Ask the team… we all have our days that get out of control
All good, and FYI, we should have Can code for the GPS available to test(alpha code) this week
I watched the posts where you seemed very upset, Corrado. I was impressed with how the major contributors on here simply tried to answer and respond without themselves getting agitated or lashing back. This is a great group of people it seems to me. AND, it says very good things about you, Corrado, that you are willing to apologize. (just a view from the sidelines!)
Takes courage to come back and say that, welcome back! Apologies for harsh words on my side.
I get as frustrated as you are with how things work around here, but have learnt to keep (mostly) quiet and try and make things better by contributing. There are lots of things around here to contribute to depending on what skills and knowledge you can bring to the table. Aside from coding, improving the docs/wiki is possibly the most important. The docs are a really great resource, but they’ve largely been written by the same people who have coded the system and know it inside out - I feel it would benefit from a ‘normal users’ touch.
SL_CAN is now in master, this was a major roadblock to getting this out.
the CAN firmware for the Here is going through a final bug review at the moment. as we will be releasing this as a major feature, we do want this to go smoothly… so we are doing lots of internal testing just to make sure.
the firmware server is now up and running, the new forums are up and running. Michael is back from holidays in a few days, so that will be the final step is enabling the update via mission planner.
