PIC in Practice

*A practical guide for all newcomers to the PIC microcontroller *Discover microelectronics by building PIC circuits *Based on Manchester Metropolitan University's highly successful short courses on the PIC PIC in Practice is a graded course based around the practical use of the PIC microcontroller through project work. Principles are introduced gradually, through hands-on experience, enabling students to develop their understanding at their own pace. The book introduces applications using the popular 16F84 device and includes sections on the 16C711, 12C508, 16F87X and the latest 16F627 devices. Dave Smith has based this book on his popular short courses in the PIC for professionals, students and teachers at Manchester Metropolitan University. The result is a graded text, formulated around practical exercises, which truly guides the reader from square one. The book can be used at a variety of levels. While the carefully graded practicals make it ideal for colleges and schools, many university students and professionals are also newcomers to PIC, so this book will provide a painless introduction for more advanced readers. In addition, electronics hobbyists will find this book to be an exciting introduction to the world of microcontrollers.David W Smith is the author of 'PIC in Practice', published 2002 under ISBN 9780750648127 and ISBN 0750648120.
