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: Question regarding bootloader

I think i tried choosing port 5 before i transfer but same problem
still occurs. Anyway for my laptop its somehow fixed at port 5 as
default too. i went to the control panel > Systems > Hardware >
Device Manager > COM PORTS > stating that its COM 5. Is that what u
meant?

[oopic] first time use

I just starting to use it. I was trying to use first application with
220 ohm resistor and led. I got download into eeprom. But the light
wont comes on. I test it with volt meter and there is no voltage
output. I test pin 21 and 23 and I see 5 volts output and I use it
with led and resister. It was working fine. Here is program I use it
for led.

Dim Fred As New oDio1

Sub Main()
Fred.Ioline = 7
Fred.Direction = cvOutput
Fred = 1
End Sub

I tried to use 11 for pin 11 or 5 for pin 5. Still not working. What
did I do wrong? I just same parallel cable and 9 volt cable that comes
with it.

Re: [oopic] student on Good Morning America with ooPIC-powered MarkIII

Totally cool. I'll see if I can find it, but 7AM on Saturday will be
tough to make I think. :) If someone can tape it and toss it up on
YouTube that would be awesome.

Re: [oopic] Re: ooPIC-R Power specs

Any 7.2 to 9V supply will work. I don't like to go above 9V because
that will start to get the regulators a bit hot if any significant
current is pulled. In a pinch I've run it on 6V worth of alkaline
batteries.

[oopic] OOPic Problem

Everytime I try and load a program into my OOPic C is give me this
error pop up saying it can't write to the EEProm and tells me it's
either my cable, power, or that I need to erace the EEProm or reset the
OOPic. I've tried everything and nothing's working. I still keep
getting the same thing. My cable configuration is ok cause it said it
found the cable and I know all my settings are right cause nothing has
changed. Any suggestions?

Hello Minghui. I use a USB-to-RS232 dongle on my WinXP notebook PC,

However, if I manually set the IDE to the correct com port value

downloading works ok. Sometimes, the IDE doesn't download the first
