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] Dead OOPic-R?

Hi all -

I was working on some i2c code and got myself into the familiar state
where I needed to do the cosmic wedgie and reset the OOPic. I
powered down and removed the EEPROM, powered and connected it back up
and F5'd to send code to the EEPROM, and reinserted the EEPROM when
asked. However, after it supposedly sent code down, you can't send
it code again, and no response comes from the comm terminal with a
\0V. The clock activity LED blinks at a slow, steady pace instead
of remaining on.

If I do the reset again, it again acts like it sends code down the
first time, but you can't do anything with it after that.

I have tried replacing the EEPROM with ones that I know are good from
one of my other OOPICs, and those boards work ok with the EEPROM from
this one.

Can anyone explain what is occuring here? I'm assuming the thing is
dead, though I'd love to know what killed it and if it's possible to
revive it, that would be nice to know as well.

Thanks,
Mike
