Description

Microcontrollers are everywhere: from cellphones to robots they are the brains behind the electronics revolution. The PIC is one of the leading microcontrollers for professional applications, but also the first choice for experimenters and students. Now you can build your own tried and test projects along with best-selling author John Iovine. John presents 10 projects with all the introductory material that you need to get up and running. What makes this book special is the symbolic compiler that is used throughout the book and provided for FREE on an accompanying CD-ROM. New professionals and graduates will be able to understand how PICs work before learning a programming language and hobbyist can start building now! Projects include LEDs, maze-running robots, and the Grey Walters turtle. All of this is provided with step-by-step instruction and full color diagrams and photographs. *Gets the reader up and running fast with a quick review of basics and then onto the 10 tried and tested projects in FULL COLOR *No languages to learn: simply drag and drop the icons, plug in the settings ? and your PIC will respond to your commands *Bonus 3 extra projects on the companion Web site!
