VSCP<\/a><\/p>\n

Short answer or executive summary<\/strong>: You should not!<\/p>\n

Longer answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

VSCP is developed by one man<\/strong>.\u00a0 He is very old. Actually old guys like him can die any day. Just like that.\u00a0 Rule<\/strong>. Never trust a system developed by one old man. Microsoft, Google, IBM have many young men and woman on there teams and they will be there forever. Just like Ashton Tate and Altavista actually did… hmmm… or did’t they…<\/p>\n

VSCP has no budget.<\/strong> No nothing. Not a single cent. There are plenty of other IoT\/m2m frameworks that have a budget. And we all know what people can do with a budget. Right.\u00a0 Rule<\/strong>: Choose an IoT framework with a budget because every project needs one. We all know that. At least we should all know that.<\/p>\n

VSCP have just few users.<\/strong> Ten or so?\u00a0 Less.\u00a0 Rule:<\/strong> Go for a system with many users. Users can help each other and also test a system so it gets better and better. Some users of some systems even contribute code. VSCP users does not do that. They usually rewrite code that is there because they don’t like the way it’s formatted or something like that. But not a big problem. As they are so few.<\/p>\n

VSCP is just 2.5K flash and tens of ram implemented in a node.<\/strong>\u00a0 What can actually be done in 2.5K of code? Print “Hello World”? Rule<\/strong>: Real systems use 32M of ram and five times that of flash . At least.<\/p>\n

VSCP consist of so many lines of code.<\/strong> Close to a million lines? Or more? Rule<\/strong>: Small is beautiful. That is source. The opposite s true for deployed code.<\/p>\n

VSCP have so damn much documentation.<\/strong> Countless pages. Written by someone that is not naive in English. It’s a hell to read. And to understand. Rule<\/strong>: And page with documentation is enough. Always.<\/p>\n

The VSCP developer never help the government to plant backdoors in the code.<\/strong>\u00a0 We all know that the big companies of course help the government when they ask for help. After all NSA is there for our security. Also for non Americans.<\/p>\n

The bloody code is free.<\/strong> Free as a free\u00a0 bottle of\u00a0 beer. Rule<\/strong>: There is not such a thing as a free lunch.<\/p>\n

VSCP has been continuously been developed for 16 years<\/strong>. Well who is crazy enough to pursue such a project. Rule<\/strong>: Never enter a project developed by crazy people. Especially if they are old and just one member of the team. If you join that crazy person probably know who you are and may come after you with an ax. Google, Microsoft and IBM does not even have a support email so they will never notice you enter so you are safe even if they also go as crazy and support the same system for sixteen years.<\/p>\n

You get answers to you questions.<\/strong> So stupid. Often within a few hours. If you find a bug it sometimes is also fixed in a short time.\u00a0 Rule<\/strong>: Never trust a developer that respond to support requests.<\/p>\n

VSCP never wins prices.<\/strong> Well of course it does not. It takes more than 15 seconds to understand what it is.\u00a0 Rule<\/strong>: Only use systems that win prices.<\/p>\n

And a lot more.<\/strong> Of course there are more. VSCP is just shit. Plain shit. And will never be anything else than shit. Rule<\/strong>: You should not use shit.<\/p>\n

If you decide to go for VSCP anyway, well, you are plain crazy and probably should see a doctor before it gets worse! But you should probably start here<\/a> if you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
