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.

Why should Tim have to eat a problem caused by the manufacturer? Seems
I should hit up Savage. But they are likely to charge me for them, are
they not?

I am beginning to agree. At this point the reason I am trying to stick
with the OOPic is that several of the kids have purchased their own
MarkIII's based on my recommendation.

That is precisely what I am likely to do. OTOH, if I do I will
probably switch to the Propeller. Having 8 independent cores makes
concurrent activity a breeze and very logical for the kids to deal
with. Plus it is a lot cheaper.

But SPIN would not be my first choice for a language. OTOH its grammar
is similar enough to C that there is a pretty good semantic
correspondence.
