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.

Re: [oopic] Re: DDELink bug and linking 2 Oopic Rs

I've played with this problem for off and on for a while it seems and
can't find any good explanation or reasoning. You should be using 2.7K
to 4.7K for even short distances (measured in single digit centimeters)
but it simply won't work between any two ooPICs that use the 16F877a
processor and I just don't understand why. Putting an ooPIC S board in
the circuit fixes it, so that left out cable length, noise in the wires
or just bad connectors. If anyone can figure out why this happens I
offer up a 4 pack of Guiness Draught cans as a prize!
