retrieving code 08m

[toby gross]

I have a picaxe 08 and I can't find my program that I want on my computer, but the picaxe has the right program for the application, I would like to make some changes, is it possible to retrieve the code that's on the chip.

Thanks, Toby

Short answer... No

Many have asked this question, anything can be hacked but you be doing better than most here, and thats saying something.

when you write code save it , back it up.

Even if you could get the contents of the memory back, it would take a massive effort (requiring knowledge of the interpreter) to convert that back to anything which resembled a basic program and (obviously) any comments, symbol useage and meaningful addresses would be missing.

Much easier to start again from scratch having learned that backups are important
