Hi,
I would like to create a true random generator using a picaxe.
The idea is that the picaxe gets some unpredicatble data from the outside world. and sends it, after proccessing, to the serout pin.
Has anyone done this before?
I would like to use 2 NOT ports from a 7414 to create 2 inpuls generators. I'll then feed the 2 outputs to 2 input pins of a picaxe and to a XOR of the 2 values. To get a random number out of this I would read in 8 bits from the XOR and XOR it again with the previous random number to get the new one.
Do you think this is something that can work?
It should not be possible to calculate the next value in any way.
The purpose of this project is to connect it to my linux box serial port and use the random output as seed for the internal random generator.
