Guide to Picmicro Microcontrollers

Aimed at both students and seasoned users, this book will take the reader though the peripheral interface controller (PIC) like no other text. PICs have been described as the hobby chip of the '90s due to their ease of use. Hardware and software are also discussed in detail. Topics include: physical appearance, electrical structure, software requirements, hardware requirements, prototype layout boards, simple PIC programmers, PIC instruction set, use of the Microchip tools including MPLAB and Technical Library, software applications, software codes, and 8-10 PIC projects.
