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.

With an RF camera and a tuner for your PC, you can be in the vision
business for $100. The software you want is already written and free:
www.roborealm.com.

Since the software can find the intersection of a
vertical plane (wall) and a horizontal plane (floor) it can also
determine if there is an object sitting on the floor closer than the
wall (box on floor).
