OpenRoyalties = Diff + Patch

For me, a working and stable "OpenRoyalties" standand will be the equivalent of the "diff & patch" commands and its role for the open source code...

The current stage of "open hardware" is the equivalent to have open source code out there, but no mechanism to allow its practical application (adoption)...

open code + (diff & patch) = open code "goes" to a new level (growth = LIFE)...

open hardware + openroyalties = the design can display "life" on its own... growth and partnerships...


A logo for the OpenRoyalties idea...


Just playing around the idea for a “logo” for the OpenRoyalties… after 3 sketches I did one that may be useful...


Here is the a quick “about”, for the open_royalties_logo_3 (draft 3 below).



The arch is in the same style as in the Open Source and Open Hardware logos.


Text Font Name: Ubuntu, meaning “elevating humankind to a higher level by means of behavior”


The “=” (equal sign) stands for “treat others designs the equal way you want others to treat your own design”, which in turn is the Maker’s version of ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.


The idea here is to promote growth, which should be the natural way to think about good designs, and the goal is to “attach” this factor to every design we can do, so others can benefit from it and at the same time cooperate with its growth, and on the opposite side we can use others people designs and kickback authors, helping to promote the design growth.


The stronger the design (from others) I am using inside my product/service, the strong my own product/service can be, so paying royalties “works for my product” as a consequence.


Personally, I believe it is a POWERFUL mechanism to achieve growth and reliability into products/services, by adopting STRONG and RELIABLE designs when building (Making) something, and the open royalties mechanism can help to achieve this level of designs.


Also, it is crucial to have a CLEAR and TRANSPARENT relationship between cooperating designs, otherwise the resulting product (of the relationship) will tend to be somewhat artificial and short lived.


Finally, “why use others people design instead of doing it yourself?”, can be a great question… and I already have an answer to this question but it is another subject and will make the text too much long if I try to write it here, so, I just like to say that by “cooperating work” we can achieve, TODAY, END RESULTS much more powerful and reliable than we can, ourselves, achieve alone tomorrow...

draft 1
 draft 2
 draft 3 (a temporary "logo" for the idea of OpenRoyalties)


Tindie is already working with the concept (https://www.tindie.com/about/sell/openroyalty/), and I hope people can understand its power and start using it...

Disclosure: this is not any kind of "official proposition" for the logo, I just like the idea and want a symbol to use when talking about it.... I did it because the idea of OpenRoyalties will be playing an important role inside the project I am doing, the Molec Project (https://sites.google.com/site/softwarephysical/), and I want a picture to use when talking about it...

"Open Royalties" = Kickback...

Looks like  I am not alone when thinking about "royalties" to designers (authors), when we, create projects using their work...

This blog post from Tindie (Tech Indie Crowdfunding) deals with more or less the same idea...

Compiling and Using JAL V2 Under RaspberryPI

Get the JAL v2 compiler compiled under Raspberry PI also...

Works fine!




[How to compile]

Molec on Linux

YES, we also have a software-package for everyone to try Molecs using Linux from a USB PenDrive... so that there is NO NEED to install, just plug-boot-and-run...







1) Molec Uploader (TinyBootUpLoaderLinux)
2) ArdPicProg (to build Molecs from Scratch)
3) JAL and JALLIB Compiler
4) Files to build again (the same package)
5) Of course, 8GB Flash Drive

Molec Proto 3

A Platform for makers to put "intelligence" into all 3D Printed Object...




A way for home users to change (programming) behavior of all home appliances...




A "computer" for any kind of physical stuff, so that it can have its own needed "intelligence"...








Molecs evolving...

As expected, Molecs are growing and getting smaller at the same time...


The old PIC18F14K50 Prototype looks very "big" compared to the 12F1822... lol...

Social Soft and Physical Software are the "hot things", according to the "CROWD"...

This is "good news" for the Moleculine Project, it shows that the "CROWD" is rewarding "social software" and "physical software" as the "hot things" out there...

100x Easier Software - Quantum Leap




From time to time a “jump” can happen into productivity of ideas and simplicity of usage (new paradigm), and this is exactly what is happening within the “fusion” of electronics and software, a creating of something higher than both, easier than both and will allows us to THINK AND DO beyond the both universes together… IT IS THE PHYSICAL SOFTWARE PARADIGM SHIFT!

The combination of the PC Paradigm Shift, the Smartphone Paradigm Shift and the Physical Software Paradigm Shift creates a NEW UNIVERSE of “software”, a quantum leap compared to the traditional software. Also, it is a “jump” of productivity and simplicity over the traditional electronics…

The difference is not about an improvement, it is about a real “jump”, equivalent to the electrons quantum leap in the atoms…



The social and economic impact of the current level of evolution will be, of course, greater than the previous ones…
