The 8051 Cookbook for Assembly and C with Experiments in Mechatronics and Robotics

This hands-on-guide was written to as an entry-level textbook and starts with the fundamentals of programming the 8051. The book then covers a wide range of subjects with example code written in both Assembly and C. Programming concepts from low-level bit manipulation to high-level state-space based applications software are discussed. The material builds up to all the ingredients to build your own robot.

The book comes with, Reads51 software, an integrated development environment, which runs on an IBM PC or compatible host. Reads51 contains a C compiler, relative assembler, linker/locator, editor, chip simulator, assembly language debugger, and host-to-board communications in a user-friendly, menu-driven environment. The complete source code for all of the experiments in book are placed in the Reads51 directory, Rigel\Reads51\Cookbook51.Data sheets for all the hardware components used in the book are also available on line.
