Code is a primary issue. Incentive to build workalike modules will certainly grow. The CPU modifications can make a tractor, or combine dangerous as well as self destructive. Think of the tendency for owners to modify tractors. From boost pressure to turning up pumps, very few components have been left alone. The manufacturers have three incentives for wanting protection. One is to protect the investment they have in the source code, another is the safety of the operator, and the third is the expected work life and value of the product. The basic solution (to me) is to provide a self diagnostic system embedded in each machine that monitors and detects error states and clearly relates that data into operator usable information. A modest 6X10 ruggedized display would show not only the fault, but impending faults and heated bearings/noises etc. Replacing a bearing, when it begins to heat is far better than smelling your combine start on fire. A warning on the display and clear announcement of the issue, would save radical amounts of time and investment and make the reliability/reputation of that manufacturer dramatically better. Setting cryptic codes is disgusting. Jim
