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.

The OOPIC is an OOPIC-R and it now works because I removed the
serial-TTL converter. This setup (with the level converter) used to
work, although intermittently (I was blaming the OOPIC).

Recently, I had the firmware updated to C.1.1+ AND switched to a new
USB-Serial converter - changed two things at once and that was a no-no.

The next step would have been to take the OOPIC to work where my PC has
a regular Comm port. I would have still used the level converter if I
had not heard from the group.

Thank you very much.
