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.

Richard,

Actually, I am not using it for servos. I want to run 6 Sharp IR
sensors on a single ooPIC-R (the big GP2Y0A700K0F sensors that draw
about 350mA each).
