New FREE Online Book: PIC microcontrollers

Date: 01-04-2008
The purpose of this book is to provide the basic information about microcontrollers that one needs to know in order to be able to use them successfully in practice. Therefore, it does not contain any super interesting program or electronic schematic with amazing solutions. Instead of that, given examples are more proof that program writing is neither a privilege nor a talent issue, but the ability of simple putting puzzle pieces together using directives. You will be assured that design and development of devices mainly comes to the method “test-correct-repeat”. Of course, the more you are in it the more complicated it becomes since the puzzle pieces are put together by both children and first-class architects... [more]
