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.

Yup! That's the same slow speed I was talking about earlier (in this
thread?). I wrote some code for an LCD and an Ultrasonic Ranger (in
the Files section as LCDRanger.osc) a few years ago and I wasn't
impressed with the writing speed.

It's too bad the OOPic doesn't use the I2C hardware for things beyond
oDDELink.

I have never tried the standard 14 pin LCD. I wonder if it writes faster.
