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.

Re: [oopic] New ooPIC C.1 and compiler

Here is what I have been told about getting the C.1.1 upgrade to ANY
ooPIC chip or board:

The folks need to send the units to:
Savage Innovations
906 Bob Wallace Ave Suite F.
Huntsville Al 35801

The cost is $9.95 plus freight
Checks also need to be made to Savage Innovations or call to use credit
card.

Re: [oopic] Windows Vista

It does not, sort of. Scott is working on this, but at the moment
you need to do some pushups to get it to work with Vista. I'll put out
an announcement when they have the compiler working on Vista.

Re: [oopic] parallel to serial port

What serial/RS232 level translator are you using on the ooPIC? How are
you connecting to your computer? Do you use a USB/RS232 converter on
your laptop? Do you know what COM port your serial port is on?

[oopic] Windows Vista

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a new computer and I was wondering if the new compiler would run on windows vista. Does anyone know?

Thanks,

[oopic] parallel to serial port

Hello all,

I was trying to print on my PC's screen a simple message such
as "hello".The thing is that I have the original OOPic which comes
with a parallel programming cable and in order to print to my PC I had
to use objects such as oSerial which they need serial communication.I
used a converter to connect my OOPic to PC but when I tried to
configure the cable I had a message that serial port couldn't be found.

What might me the problem?Is there any way to use the parallel port
and still to be able to print to my comp's screen from a simple phrase
to a sonar's output?

There is a lot of sample software for the Trekker and OOPic at the
Superdroidrobots site.

As to communication with the PC: read chapter 16 of the Programmer's
Guide (at www.oopic.com -> Manual) and search the Files section here
for references to SCP (Serial Control Protocol).

If you reprogram the chip, you don't have an OOPic. You can always
erase the extra value added firmware and wind up with an $8.40 16F877A.

There is a heck of a difference in price and application between the
OOPic and the Matrix Multimedia stuff.
