Beginners Guide to Embedded C Programming Volume 2
In this “Volume 2” Chuck takes the reader to the next level by introducing
how to drive displays, how to use interrupts, how to use serial communication,
how to use the internal hardware peripherals of the PIC16F690 Microcontroller
such as SPI, PWM and Timers. He even introduces how to drive a stepper motor for
those looking for electromechanical design help. He tackles these topics with
his typical down to earth style of writing that makes the reader comfortable as
they learn what some consider very difficult topics for the beginner. In
addition he continues to use the very powerful HI-TECH C compiler in its free
Lite mode so the reader can program along with little or no
expense.
All the projects in the book include the software and the
hardware schematics so the reader can reproduce the same projects Chuck creates
on their own. This is a great companion to the “Beginner’s Guide to Embedded C
Programming” but also stands well on its own. If you are looking to learn
Embedded C Programming for the Microchip PIC Microcontroller or want to expand
your knowledge of using the internal features, then this book needs to be in
your library.
