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.

[oopic] Re: Interpreting serial data.

Hello,

Thank you so so so so so much. It's working. As richard told i
declared all my objects outside the main function,and also as Dan
said i set the baud rate. I forgot to set the baud rate. I changed
baud settings on my bluetooth adapter to 9600,and set the baud rate
in oopic program to 9600,which solved my problem.

Thanks a lot .

[oopic] Trouble with new OOpic

Hello all,
My son and I are working on a school project using a OOPic II. We
are trying to make sure that the OOPic is working so we tried loading
a sample of the oLED object and hooked up a LED just to make sure that
everything was working ok but it is not. We do not get any errors when
downloading and can read the info from the eprom. I checked the ioline
with a volt meeter and there is no voltage so i tried changing the
ioline and still get the same result.
I looked up the troubleshooting on the website and everything looks
ok. i setup the programming cable again and the program finds it and
set the delay.
I have experiance with working with OOPics and have never seen this
and i am totaly lost why this is happening any ideas?

Thanks
Andy

Besides what Richard mentioned, be sure your baudrates are the same
on both ends. You didn't specifically set it here.

Also, I would not run untested programs on 2 ends at the same time. I
would test the oopic program, in isolation, using a terminal emulator
running on the PC, such as Hyperterminal, etc. Once the oopic program
is working ok, then try some fancier program on the PC [mobile?] end.
Otherwise, there is no way to tell which is working properly.

Also, I'd use something other than a 5 as the test value, since it's
not a displayable ASCII character.

You are misunderstanding the comments about not declaring objects
WITHIN functions. You can't do that!

oByte b1 = new oByte;
oByte b2 = new oByte;
oSerialPort sp = new oSerialPort;
oLED l1 = new oLed;
oLED l2 = new oLED;

void main(void)
{
// your logic goes here
}

void some_function(void)
{
// code for called 'some_function' goes here
}

All objects must be declared global - that means at the top of the
file before the first function declaration.

Review the sample code carefully. You will see that objects are not
declared within functions.

[oopic] Re: Interpreting serial data.

Thank you very much for replying...

I tried writing a program similar to whats there in tht link..
here is what i tried (and failed)...

Delay=2000;
Void main(void){
oByte b1=new oByte; //holds incoming data
oByte b2=new oByte; //holds pre-defined data
b2.Value=5; //assgined a value 5
oSerialPort sp=new oSerialPort;
oLed l1=new oLed; //leds for testing
oLed l2=new oLed;
l1.IOLine=5;
l2.IOLine=6;
sp.Operate=1;
Do{
If(sp.received==cvTrue){
l1.TurnOn; //just to check whether it has entered this block
//that means data is received..this glows
b1.Value=sp.Value;
If(b1.Value==b2.Value){
l2.TurnOn; //if comparision was successful..doesnt glow
}
}//end of outer IF
}//end of DO
}//end of main

Data is being received by oopic,but the comparision fails...
Iam trying to send data from java J2ME program running in a
mobile...Java J2ME has a method to write data to output stream..

Documentation says this about the method which am using to send data:
write(int b) :Writes the specified byte to the output stream. The
general contract for write is that one byte is written to the output
stream. The byte to be written is the eight low-order bits of the
argument b. The 24 high-order bits of b are ignored.
i used write(5); in my sending code..

Next i tried comparing the received value b1.Value with all 0-255
values..by incrementing and comparing,using another byte value
starting from zero...None of the values from 0-255 matches b1.Value!

pls help me..

thank you
