when I go to Tools/Cable Configuration, and i press "find serial
calbe", the computer doesnt recognize the oopic-r board connected to
the computer through a real serial cable. I already downloaded and
installed the oopic_6 Compiler and the DLPortIO since I have Windows
XP. the power on the oopic-r board I on, and I have also check if the
power in the 16 I/O lines is OK, and it is(regulated 4.03V). The only
think I dont understand is the business regardin the EEPROM, what is
that? it is important to communicate with the oopi-r? I would really
apriciate help in this matter.

thank you

4.03V is the wrong answer for any of the power supplies: they should be
very close to 5V. If, OTOH, you are measuring the voltage at an
IOLine, it could be less than 5V by some amount.

Don't ask the IDE to find the serial cable, TELL it which COM port to
use. The search doesn't always work.

What business with the EEPROM? It is used to store the OOPic program
and can be used to store data.

Now, if your OOPic is still jammed up, you may have a 'cosmic wedgie'.
Search the archives for the solution. It involves removing the EEPROM,
resetting the board, attempting to download, reinstalling the EEPROM
when directed (while the board is 'on', don't get it backwards) and
then attempting the download again. ALWAYS put OOPic.Delay = 5000 (if
V5 it would be 500) as the first executable statement.
