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] Re: using oDDELink

There isn't much you need to do. You can talk to the ooPIC like it is
a 256 byte EEPROM by connecting to the network port. But, you have to
play lots of games with bit masking and such to access everything. The
source Richard mentions shows how to do that. SCP is a bit more
straightforward and the pages on it in the manual help out with the bit
masking stuff as well.
