Description
PIC microcontrollers are used worldwide in commercial and industrial devices. The 8-bit PIC which this book focuses on is a versatile
work horse that completes many designs. An engineer working with applications that include a microcontroller will no doubt come across
the PIC sooner rather than later. It is a must to have a working knowledge of this 8-bit technology.
This book takes the novice from
introduction of embedded systems through to advanced development techniques for utilizing and optimizing the PIC family of microcontrollers
in your device. To truly understand the PIC, assembly and C programming language must be understood. The author explains both with sample
code and examples, and makes the transition from the former to the latter an easy one. This is a solid building block for future PIC
endeavors.
