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.

The factory provides a BUNCH of OOPic code at

http://www.micromegacorp.com/oopic.html

The simple example (that does nothing) is umfpu-serial.osc. It
provides the entire framework for an application without actually
doing anything. You insert your own code - perhaps something trivial
like add a couple of numbers and send the result to the serial port
as a string. There are many other LCD examples that will provide
guidance.

There is also a reference guide specific to the OOPic
http://www.micromegacorp.com/downloads/documentation/uMFPU-V3_1%
20OOPic.pdf The guide also provides tutorials.

Alas, I haven't bought the chip... I don't have an application for
it at this time.
