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.

I have no idea! Personally, I would choose between an ATmega128 which
is a 16 MHz processor operating on 5V or an LPC2148 60 MHZ ARM
processor running on 3.3V. Both have 10 bit A/D converters and 8
channels.

Both processors use the GNU toolchain appropriate to their
architecture. The toolchain is free, of course.

Both have 2 UARTs and are capable of 7 bits plus even parity a real
obstacle for the OOPic.

I pointed you to several ATmega128 boards. Here is an LPC2148 board
that I use:

It's pretty nice because it has the SD/MMC socket and there are a
number of file systems around that run on this board. It's out of
stock at the moment but it will be right back! Another board that I
have but haven't used is:
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=676.

It
lacks all of the gadgets of the development board but that may not be
an issue.

There is some terrific demo code for the LPC2148 at
http://www.jcwren.com/arm/

Everything you need to get started!

If you need a tutorial about setting up the GNU toolchain for the ARM
processor under Windows, send me a private email and I'll send it to
you. Expect about 11 MB. I can't attach documents to email from
Yahoo groups. Otherwise, research GNUARM for Linux.
