I am very disappointed about this software. Its not that easy, for beginners. It’s not fun. Not intuitive. Coding is easier than this. what is boot? "Outputs a single pulse when the program starts" what is pulse? may be this is your kind of way using microcontroller but beginners world is differ…

Hello and thank you for the summary. I see your point. Currently, XOD is at its very early stage. There are many things we could change to make it more friendly. Luckily opinions told here on the forum would help us make right decisions.

Thanks a lot for making this project. I’m happy that you have released a fiirst alpha. I have the same opinion of serhatsoyyigit. I expect to have something kiss as blynk or scratch4arduino, to use if for example with children in schools to make nice robots, but it seems that for the moment it’s no…

@pepe Hello and thank you. Of course, all users would benefit if even a child could use XOD. Overall simplicity is good and worth to strive for. Children friendliness is a good metric. Currently, one of the main problems as I could see it is that many things in XOD are very explicit and should be …

Hello and thank you for your reply. I’m very happy to know that you plan to make it easier and that it will be possible for children to use it. Are you interested by feedback that will try to give you ideas to make a litle more easier the next release or you all ready have a lot of works and ideas…

@pepe Thank you for the offer. It would be quite hard to do the experiment properly right now as XOD should be significantly changed with the next release. I would be glad to perform the test right after major changes will be introduced.

I disagree with the idea that XOD is “too complicated”. I see a lot of things missing - like core patches hierarchy, distinction between input, logic, math, output categories. An onscreen console would of course be handy. I’d love multiplexer and demultiplexers, and be able to build structure of a…

Hey @ddelk , thanks for sharing your opinion! A positive constructive feedback like yours keeps our motivation high :wink: Hope we’ll satisfy your expectations with future releases. P.S> For the sake of justice. The original post was created few versions ago when things were indeed more complicated…

Hello, XOD is what I’ve been looking for. It removes a great deal of the complexity of programming Arduinos. I’m an experienced programmer that has been working with college art classes, and with professional artists. I provide technical expertise to help the artist realize their vision. Non-progr…

Thanks for sharing your mind. Great to hear that XOD concept is recognizable by digital artists. How can we support them better? We’d like to. Maybe you could provide some topics they are interested in the most? So that we can write down some guides/howtos on these topics.

The boot block is indeed not very intuitive, but that’s again related to the update-on-pulse question.
