  • Reverse engineering prohibitions are the dumbest things.

    Let’s say I do this. Arduino sues me. Okay. Now what? What money are they going to take?

    Hell, this would be a perfect time for everyone to form an LLC and purchase Arduinos as the LLC and then release your research under your corporate name as CC0. If your LLC has no revenue, you as an individual are legally protected.

    Arduino can try to put the genie back in the bottle but good luck.

    Better companies than Arduino have tried to prevent hardware reverse engineering and have failed. Apple being the biggest company I can think of that have tried to sue people for releasing schematics of their motherboards.
