ooPic Retro Compiler Beta

The new ooPic compiler, called the Retro Compiler for now, will be released for Beta testing by the end of May 2011.

What is it? The Retro Compiler is a new Windows 7 stable version of the old ooPic 6.12 compiler.

Which ooPics will it work with? The Retro Compiler will work directly with the ooPic R and C using USB --> Serial. It will also work with S boards running the B and C firmware if you want to hack a serial port on to the proto area.

Why? Scott is releasing the Retro Compiler first in order to test out the system on newer computers as well as to support legacy users. 2 months after release we should see the Raptor Compiler for the new ooPic-32 Raptor. (Can't wait!)

So, what do you want the Raptor to do?

Tell us what you would like the Raptor to do, maybe it can be incorporated as Scott whittles away at the firmware.

Not much to report....

Sorry guys, there is not much to report in oopicland this week. As you all know, the first few Raptors have been built and now Scott is deeply involved with getting the new IDE up and running. I hear the compiler side is working and most of the work involved is with the GUI.
