Feedback

All feedback should be returned to the dohickey client mailing list or the feedback wiki page. If you encountered any errors, any terminal output should be recorded and supplied as feedback. If you have any devices that didn't get detected, please include detailed descriptions of the item (what is it, what interface does it use, and any other information you think would be useful).

We would also appreciate information on your overall experience with the program. Was it easy to use? Did you understand everything in the GUI? Is it's purpose clear to you? Was it wasy to figure out what you were supposed to do with it? And any other questions along those lines that you would like to include.

If there's any other information you want to include because you think it's important, we would be glad to hear it.

Thank You,

The Dohickey Project Team
