Programming 16-Bit PIC Microcontrollers in C: Learning to Fly the PIC 24

New in the second edition:

• MPLAB X support and MPLAB C for the PIC24F v3 and later libraries
• I2C interface
• 100% assembly free solutions
• Improved video, PAL/NTSC
• Improved audio, RIFF files decoding
• PIC24F GA1, GA2, GB1 and GB2 support

Most readers will associate Microchip's name with the ubiquitous 8-bit PIC microcontrollers but it is the new 16-bit PIC24F family that is truly stealing the scene. Orders of magnitude increases of performance, memory size and the rich peripheral set make programming these devices in C a must. This new guide by Microchip insider Lucio Di Jasio teaches readers everything they need to know about the architecture of these new chips: How to program them, how to test them, and how to debug them. Di Jasio s common-sense, practical, hands-on approach starts out with basic functions and guides the reader step-by-step through even the most sophisticated programming scenarios. Experienced PIC users, including embedded engineers, programmers, designers, and SW and HW engineers, and new comers alike will benefit from the text s many thorough examples, which demonstrate how to nimbly sidestep common obstacles and take full advantage of the many new features.
