Alternative to ROS2/Lua/etc: Beeptoolkit for FarmBot?

@Trigg

Alex,

Thank you for reaching out. We are always looking to expand the FarmBot OpenSource Community and you are welcome to interface the Beeptoolkit for the FarmBot hardware and software.

Having said that, the Farmduino controller stands out as a purpose-engineered open source solution that guarantees FarmBot’s cost effectiveness and long-term reliability. The fully open source Arduino based Farmduino controller are CE and RoHS certified and they have gone through 10+ years of development and more than 5 design iterations. Also, the Farmduino controllers have gone through thousands of hours of real world testing.

It would likely require a significant engineering effort to fully integrate the Beeptoolkit with the FarmBot hardware and software. Also, the Beeptoolkit IDE Software Logic Controller would likely not conform to the governing constitution of the FarmBot Open Source technology. While the Beeptoolkit provides accessibility and flexibility for developers, its core platform is proprietary which would disqualify it from becoming FarmBot technology.

I would encourage you to browse through FarmBot governing documents and core Open Source philosophy.
