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] Parallel Cable on OOpic

That will work great, but you'll have to write the driver to send the
data out to the ooPIC board. It shouldn't be very difficult, but you
have to start by pulling the PIC /reset (MCLR) line low to put the PIC
into reset mode which basically turns it off and disconnects it from the
EEPROM.
