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.

[oopic] Fried voltage regulator or Cable issue?

Hi everyone, hope everything is going well.

I just have a quick question about an OOPic i just recieved and an
error i am recieving. I wanted to make sure the OOPic was operating
properly before i really started using it so i setup the test program
in Ch. 2 of OOPic's manual (the one with the LED that makes the LED
flash. made up od just a resistor and LED). Im using the OOPic 6
compiler with an OOPIC III+ w/ version C.1.1+, a parallel programming
cable and a 9v battery hookup.

When i compile the program i get an error:
"The I2C Bus Clock Status line reported a logic state of zero when a
logic 1 was expected. This could be caused by one of the following.
The was no, or not enough, voltage powering the oopic.
The i2c clock line is shorted to ground on the oopic or in the cable.
The i2c clock status line is shorted to ground or in the cable
Another i2c master is controlling the I2C bus

I removed the led and resistor and also removed all usb device form my
computer (except for the reviever for my wireless keyboard/mouse) and
tried to compile and got the same issue. Checked the troubleshooting on
OOPics website. Between pins V+ and G i get 9v. Between pins +5v and G
i get 1.51v......shouldnt that be +5? I contacted the company who i
purchased it from and they said it sounds like i have a cable issue and
should look into it. Do you guys have any suggestions. Id really
appreciate any ionput you guys have. Does this sound like a fried
voltage regulator, or do you think it is a problem with the cable?

Thanks alot guys, take care
