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.

[oopic] Re: Providing a clock/time to the PIC

I guess i would have to generate the data beforehand but the
calculation part has already been done. didn't know that there was a
limit to what the PIC could do. >.< Well regarding the coprocessor
could be a bit tricky as i have absolutely no idea how to link the
coprocessor with ooPIC. but thats a good suggestion which i can do for
future improvements.
