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] Re: where's the parallel cable?

Yes,

There are quite a few places where you can get serial converters and
use your S boards with a serial cable if you have B2.2+ or better chips
in them.

www.polulu.com
www.acroname.com
www.junun.com

are just a few.
