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] Hardware question...

For the OOPic DIP 40 package:

Is that simply a PIC16F877A with Savage's 'firmware' loaded in the
program memory? If so, what is the possibility to read the program
memory (byte for byte) and copy it to a new PIC16F877A. Since no more
old school OOPics are being made, I would like to see if I can make
some for personal use. They may not be the latest technology but they
are so easy to program and I am an old dog and don't prefer to learn
new tricks at this point. I don't usually use OOPic's for robots,
typically light controllers, motor controllers, and data
monitoring/gathering/recording. Nothing that I do requires a whole
lot of computing power and I like the platform. From what I have read
about the OOBug, it is aimed at the robot market rather than the PIC
market (yes, I know there are better ones out there, but again back to
programming).

Thanks,
Bill
