Description
Sophisticated networking and communications capabilities that were previously the sole domain of mainframes, PCs, and workstations are
now becoming mandatory in the realm of smaller embedded microcontrollers. However, documentation, standards, and design information is
scattered among many sources and is difficult to find.
In this practical book, popular columnist and embedded designer Fred Eady
is your guide and advisor. He pulls together all the necessary design background and details and shows you how to use today’s affordable
microcontrollers for powerful communications and networking applications such as local area networks and embedded internet. Using working
code examples and schematics, Eady steers you through the basics using two popular microcontroller families, PIC and Atmel.
Included
are a wealth of detailed design examples for:
· RS-232 firmware and hardware
· Microcontroller USARTs
· The I2C bus
· Ethernet implementation
· Embedded internet implementation
· Wireless links
Sample source code is provided and thoroughly explained for all the application
examples. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the example code as well as a searchable ebook version of the text, to help you get up to
speed quickly. You could spend days or even weeks pulling together all the information that Eady has assembled in this one indispensable
reference.
Audience:
embedded systems engineers and programmers; electronics technicians working in embedded systems; electrical/software engineering students; electronics hobbyists
