I started a new software defined automation project. I wanted something that I could just open a webpage and start writing code that could just be uploaded and ran instantly. I picked an ESP32-P4 for the first hardware. It’s MIT licensed and has a git repo that I put up this morning https://github.com/OpenPiLab/pilab-esp32-p4-plc


Another scripting language that I’ve been using in embedded systems with a little more memory is AngelScript. It’s underrated in this space. It’s very easy to extend and has the advantage of being a subset of C/C++.


I have it in writing.


It depends on how much you care about your job.

If you have it in writing (and it's clear) you can fork the software at the last commit. Be aware that you risk being fired. OTOH they are risking a wrongful termination claim / lawsuit. Option 3 is to negotiate back pay for the work you did based on your best estimate of the cost.


There's also some risk to your boss -if he's given you permission in writing to release the code under an open source license, but he did not have the internal authority to do that - it's not impossible that'd risk him getting fired (instead of or as well as you).


If the amount of money, or your desire to keep the software open source is big enough - talk to a lawyer.




Thanks! So looks like no reviewer has used that pen yet and all that exists are (faked) videos. The "one day left" preorder is probably shown every day.

The terms-of-service are awful. At least Kickstarter has some safe guards in place. https://thescribblepen.com/terms-of-service/ "Since the payment is processed to be spent on the development and manufacture of the Product immediately upon the submission of the pre-order by you, therefore, it is practically not possible for us to refund the payment you make."


Exactly, this is a very professional looking scam. They should invest their time into something productive instead of stealing other peoples money.
