There was a suggestion on sci.electronics.basic some time ago for a = high voltage (non-lethal) generator that fired when the bike reached a certain= speed. It required a dynamo/lighting generator - not so common nowadays - but a= PIC and a dc supply could no doubt be used instead... This still wouldn't stop the thief who simply hoists the bike onto a = truck, of course, and if I fitted one to my bike I'd need an Early Warning bleep = for the times I forgot to disable it . You litigation-conscious fellows would no doubt panic at such an idea, = of course. We mustn't do anything to hurt the poor thieving sod who was no = doubt abused as a child and never taught right from wrong.... -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
