The Object Watcher does work with the IDE ver 6.1.1 on the Oopic II+
Chip running on a S Board. The operating system I am using is Win XP.
However I would think that it will work with the C 1.1+ chip on the
oopic R. Having said that I do not have a C 1.1+ chip to test it with.
If the delimiters in the string being sent using the .debug are as:
<ObjectName=Value/> then it should work without a problem.
I have just done a fresh install on my sons laptop and it worked fine
even when using a USB to Serial adapter.
Please can you install this simple test program on the oopic and see if
you can get it to connect. I have a 1 sec delay in this test program
startup, just to make it easier to reprogram the oopic as the .debug
method does tend to hog the USART. The OW takes care of this issue once
connected however.
Dim Count As oByte
Sub Main()
Delay = 1000 'this is optional but helps when the .debug is being
selfish with the USART
Do
Count.Inc
Count.Debug
Delay = 200
Loop
End Sub
If it still does not work then please can you check what the transmitted
string looks like using HyperTerminal or similar. Another way to see
what is being transmitted is to open the Oopic Comm Window, then open
the Dialog Window by right clicking the oByte object called Count. Then
click the refresh button a number of times until you see the .debug
strings in the Comm Window. Eventually an error message box will appear
with the .debug strings printed on the error message box.
If the strings look like below then the OW should work just fine.
<Count=16/><Count=17/><Count=18/><Count=19/><Count=20/><Count=21/><Count=22/><Count=23/><Count=24/>
<Count=25/><Count=26/><Count=27/><Count=28/><Count=29/><Count=30/><Count=31/><Count=32/><Count=33/>
<Count=34/><Count=35/><Count=36/><Count=37/><Count=38/><Count=39/><Count=40/><Count=41/><Count=42/>
<Count=43/><Count=44/><Count=45/><Count=46/><Count=47/><Count=48/><Count=49/><Count=50/><Count=51/>
<Count=52/><Count=53/><Count=54/><Count=55/><Count=56/><Count=57/><Count=58/><Count=59/><Count=60/>
<Count=61/><Count=62/><Count=63/><Count=64/><Count=65/><Count=66/><Count=67/><Count=68/>
Let me know what you find.
