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.

With a CdS cell, all you need do it connect it up in a voltage
divider to 5v, using a 10K or so resistor for a pullup, and then
connect the v.div output to any A/D converter channel on the oopic.

If you're using one of the oopic sample programs, you first need to
double check the sensor is connected to the same I/O line as the
program uses. Not connected to the correct pin is the most common
mistake people make.
