OOPIC Forum

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.

Which is why I am surprised that peripherals are on the bit-banged buss.

That is precisely what I am worried about.

I know.

We are in the same boat then.

Yes. I am quite impressed with the Propeller from Parallax. If only it
had A:D on the chip ...

Regardless, I have several kids who are-building/have built MarkIIIs
and they want to add things like a Devantech compass module and the
sensor board (2-axis accelerometer) to help them with rudimentary
mapping.
