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.

[oopic] Abandoning the OOPic (was: Wrong IOpack for Stepper Motor?)

I am getting to the point where I am wondering if it is worth it to
keep going with the OOPic. For all the effort we are having to go
through to get the new versions to work it might be better to bite the
bullet and switch to something more stable. I really like the OOPic
and it makes a wonderful stepping-stone for my kids learning
programming but if they write code that doesn't work, that interferes
with their learning. Running programs are a reward. If it is too hard
they don't get enough reward and abandon the projects as being no fun.

So to the folks at Savage Innovations:

HELLO! ARE YOU LISTENING?

You have released a faulty product and your slow response time is very
likely to lose customers who will most likely never come back. Doesn't
this bother you? If it were my company it would bother the hell out of
me, that's for sure!
