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: Angle of attack VII - any help appreciated

A more interesting solution uses a small CPLD. I have a development
board with a 44 pin Xilinx XC9572XL device so I created the circuit. A
single 4 bit loadable counter, an AND gate and a D flop take less than
10% of the macrocells. This leaves a lot of logic left for other
things.

FWIW, the chip is about the size of a dime. This particular device
uses 3.3V logic levels which can be a PITA. There is a regular XC9572
device for 5V logic and it is available in a PLCC 44 package. About
the size of a quarter.

I don't spend near enough quality time with my CPLDs and FPGAs. It was
an interesting diversion.
