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.

There are two Hyperterminal tests you can try: First, set HT for
9600,n,8,1 with NO FLOW CONTROL and connect to the port you use with
the IDE. Pull the TX and RX wires at the OOPic and short them
together (at the serial adapter). Now keyboard data should be echoed
at the screen. Without the jumper there should be no echo.
Obviously, the OOPic S board needs to be providing power to the serial
adapter. Of course, you could also make this test (of the cable) by
jumping pins 2 & 3 at the male connector.

Second, hook everything back up, yank the EEPROM and reset the OOPic.
Type \0V (backslash, zero, upper case V) and you should get a reply
of v (lower case V). See Chapter 16 of the ooPIC Programmer's Guide.

I just tried this (yank the EEPROM) on a working OOPic and the
described 'v' echo was received.
