Legal status of the association

The "Armadeus Project" is a French non-profit association (law 1901) from Mulhouse, France (68). We accept members from everywhere. The production of the development boards used by the association is done by a privately owned company, which is independent of the project. Board reselling is done by the armadeus systems company, founded by Armadeus Project leaders.

To become a member

• At first, you must fill the following membership form and send it back either per mail (see form) or per e-mail (adhesion(at)armadeus(dot)org).
• Then, go to the armadeus systems online shop and create an account (Do not buy any products just yet!!). IMPORTANT: Check Association Armadeus Project membership option when creating the account !!
• Then, after a few days (max. 3), the following message should appear when you log in :

• Now you can buy your boards. You definitively become a member as soon as you purchase at least one main board (here an APF9328). This will ensure that new members will develop on the same basis. After that you will receive your userid and your password to participate to this Wiki and project activities. Everyone is welcome!
