Essential Design Techniques From the Workbench of a Pro
Harness the power of the PIC microcontroller unit with practical, common-sense instruction from an engineering expert. Through eight real-world projects, clear illustrations, and detailed schematics, Making PIC Microcontroller Instruments and Controllers shows you, step-by-step, how to design and build versatile PIC-based devices. Configure all necessary hardware and software, read input voltages, work with control pulses, interface with peripherals, and debug your results. YouAnd#39;ll also get valuable appendices covering technical terms, abbreviations, and a list of sample programs available online.
