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.

Ha! I use a 2S LiPoly these days - 7.4V, which is about what your 6
NimH would be. I don't like to throw away batteries either. Since you
can get 800-1000mAH packs for $15 or so, this is MOST economical, and
light as well.
