This Forum is Dedicated For all The Object Oriented PIC Lovers .......... The concept behind OOPic is straight forward. Use preprogrammed multitasking Objects from a library of highly optimized Objects to do all the work of interacting with the hardware. Then write small scripts in Basic, C, or Java syntax styles to control the Objects. During operation, the Objects run continuously and simultaneously in the background while the scripts run in the foreground telling the objects what to do.

There are a few things to consider when the object says it handles SPI
on any IOLine. Mostly, it indicates that it is bit-banged and doesn't
use the SPI hardware. So, pick the highest speed you can - it
certainly won't exceed the capability of the sensor.

The difference between an 8 bit transfer and a 16 bit transfer is
PROBABLY how the object deals with IOLineE. The object wants to
toggle the line between every byte. So, use a oDIO line to do the
device enable by lowering the output in code and try transferring 2
bytes before raising it in code. The OOPic PROBABLY won't know the
difference and the sensor will just see a gap between the two bytes.
