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] H-Bridge issue...maybe.

Thanks for those suggestions. I do have an analog meter around here
somewhere, but I'll have to either repair the leads or replace them. I don't
know whether I will get to that tonight.

As for the motors, I'll have to try to find more info on them. They are
small, but they may not be VERY SMALL. The first time I went looking, I
couldn't find much info on them, but there's more out there now.
