I'm looking at the schematic for the OOBoard and it doesn't show a
SIMMBus of any kind. It does show a LOCAL I2C connector but not a
NETWORK I2C connector.
The NETWORK I2C connector is only useful for networking OOPics. It
can not be used to talk to I2C peripherals. You must use the LOCAL
I2C connector for that.
If you really want the NETWORK I2C, connect the CLK signal to RC3/SCK
and the DATA signal to RC4/SDA. From the schematic, it isn't clear
how to do that. Those signals aren't included in the IOLines 1..31.
Making the connection might be ugly.
Re the ESTOP: all they are doing is jamming up the EEPROM output and
causing the OOPic to reset. What you will learn to do is put
OOPic.Delay = 500 as the first executable statement of every program.
This 5 second delay allows the PC via SCP (Serial Control Protocol)
to get the attention of the OOPic following a reset before it starts
executing a potentially errant program.
If you short ESTOP and hold it BEFORE you push reset, the IDE should
tell you to install the EEPROM before downloading. This seems like a
process that reqires more than the normal 2 hands... On other OOPics,
you physically pull the EEPROM.
As to the compiler: I personally prefer V5 running on WinXP. It has a
long history. V6 is pretty new and I'm not comfortable with it. As
to Windows Vista: don't go there. Neither IDE is known to work. In
fact, both are known to NOT work.
