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: Savage Innovations Website ***web host is currently fixing***

Mostly the redirect to the 3pigs domain, but I encountered a file with a Sophos worm seconds after clicking on the "Ordering" link at OOPIC.com. Files infected include notepad32.exe (multiple copies), a task called CSSRSS.exe which deletes itself as soon as it loads. Only way to kill this one was in safe-mode, finding the file and deleting. All in all a terrible experience and a complete waste of 12 hours. I went ahead and ordered what I need from botshop and sparkfun. I'll let someone else determine when to sound the all clear on savageinnovations.com. Oh well, at least I got an antivirus suite now.
