Product Description
Product Description
John Morton offers a uniquely concise and practical guide to getting up and running with the PIC Microcontroller. The PIC is one of the most popular of the microcontrollers that are transforming electronic project work and product design, and this book is the ideal introduction for students, teachers, technicians and electronics enthusiasts. Assuming no prior knowledge of microcontrollers and introducing the PIC Microcontroller's capabilities through simple projects, this book is ideal for electronics hobbyists, students, school pupils and technicians. The step-by-step explanations and the useful projects make it ideal for student and pupil self-study: this is not just a reference book - you start work with the PIC microcontroller straight away. The revised third edition focuses entirely on the re-programmable flash PIC microcontrollers such as the PIC16F54, PIC16F84 and the extraordinary 8-pin PIC12F508 and PIC12F675 devices. It demystifies the leading microcontroller for students, engineers an hobbyists. It places emphasis on putting the PIC to work, not theoretical microelectronics. Simple programs and circuits introduce key features and commands through project work.

Format:Paperback
This book is a joy to read. It takes the reader gradually through the range of PIC chips and gives clear and interesting examples of code and practical projects. The writing style is easy and relaxed - it even includes some witty asides! I was so impressed with this book - it explained things that Microchip couldn't seem to include in any of their web pages (nor for that matter did anyone else on the web). I had already bought a PicKit2 (with a PIC 16F690 chip) and, although it wasn't specifically dealt with in this book I was able to work out how to program and use it (and understand most of the chip's datasheet) having read the first 100 or so pages. I imagine future editions will include a section on the PicKit2 programmer. I wish I had bought this book a long time ago - it would have saved me a lot of frustration!

I haven't got much (if any) experience with self teach PIC books but I needed to brush up on the topic for a university module. So I haven't really got anything to compare it to but I found this book very helpful, I'm only halfway through it but have actually enjoyed the method it is presented and found the writimg style casual and freindly without being forced.
All in all, a good book to get you started, like it says on the tin

This is the best beginner text on PIC microcontrollers that i have come across. It is well written and concise and does not use confuse the beginner with technical jargon and complicated ideas. There are numerous examples that can be implemented in hardware and/or simulated easily with PIC software tools. i would recommend this book to anyone who has or would like to begin microcontroller development.

Using the PIC
Very useful book for PIC programming beginers. Don't expect answers for everything but certainly enough for starters. I am now starting to understand microcomputers.

Great book
I really liked this book. It was very clear to understand, and examples were fine. Exercises were challenging, and answers were provided at the end of the book. Read more
