Programming the PICAXE Questions...

[Adamey]

Is there any way to get a program onto a PICAXE without using the Programming Editor?

What I want to be able to do is to give someone program files and allow them to program a PICAXE without letting them edit the programs. This is to make the programming "idiot proof". If I get them to use the Programming Editor and load a file before programming, there is always the chance they could change something to give undesirable results.

Or maybe the Programming Editor can do this automatically with / commands when starting (I doubt it, but it would be nice).

Have a read of this 2008 thread.

It indicates that there are/were methods to do are you wish and that Rev Ed was in the process of incorporating this capability into the PE.

Have a look at the compilers on the software download page. You can write your own program to automatically load/download a program.
