OOPIC Forum

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.

Isn't "not buggy" when taken in context with "Windows" an oxymoron?

Often the problem is that the driver isn't already present and I don't
have the driver anywhere convenient.

I guess that, since almost every USB device is just emulating a UART,
why bother? OK, the connector is smaller.

And I understand that most consumers want a USB interfaces. I just
wanted to point out that it doesn't really gain you anything and I am
not most consumers. :-)
