Hey all. Been a while since I tinkered with a Picaxe
Has anyone ever come up with a way of 'deleting' the contents of a Picaxe remotely?
We have items of equipment at work that require some logic control. BUT... this stuff is forever being stolen and basically hacked by rival companies.
So, I was thinking of some kind of method of protecting our projects. If they try to download the IC code, it is lost forever.
Any super clever ideas?
My only thought was to actually deliberately fry the IC so that is was unreadable.
Say... 12v through a transistor into the serial pin of the IC (Would that kill it?) that is operated by an early line in the code, unless a jumper is set on the PCB.
