Product Description

Product Description
This title provides electronics hobbyists with a set of 12 projects which may be built with the PIC microcontroller. All projects use Microchip's MPLAB compiler and the BASIC programming language.

From the Back Cover
TAB ELECTRONICS PIC Microcontroller Project Book

No assembly language required!
Projects, projects, projects!

What can you do with PIC microcontrollers? Practically anything from creating "photovore" robots that hunt light to feed their solar cells to making toasters announce, "Your toast is ready!" These low-cost (around 7 bucks) computers-in-a-chip let electronics designers and hobbyists add intelligence, responsiveness, and functions that mimic big computers to any electronic product or project. And they not only do it more cheaply, "they do it at least 20 faster and far less expensively than comparative Basic StampsTM! "And they're just as easy to use.

PIC Microcontroller Project Book gives you hands-on directions for putting Microchip's RISC-based chips with up to 8K of memory to work. Starting with simple projects and experiments, this book leads you gradually into sophisticated programming techniques. You need absolutely no programming experience to get started. John Iovine coaches you through every single step. Written with the beginner in mind, PIC Microcontroller Project Book gives you A-B-C guidance on how to:

Get the equipment you need (includes lists of suppliers).
Program your chip, from plugging in the breadboard to running the compiler, with lines of code to copy
Make your chip count numerically.D
eliver messages on a liquid crystal display.
Synthesize human speech.
Control DC motors, stepper motors, and servos.
Convert any analog signal to digital.
Add sensing abilities to robots.
Build decision-making neural and "fuzzy logic" functions into your projects.

THE EASY WAY TO MASTER MICROCONTROLLERS

Bound to spur your imagination and inspire plans for using PICs in new products and projects of your own, PIC Microcontroller Project Book gives you a solid platform of skills for launching creative applications. We're willing to bet this book will be the springboard for thousands of innovative workshop projects!

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic programming of microcontrollers made easy & cheap!, 16 Jan 2002
By Patrick E Jones (Bangor, Gwynedd United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book starts from the very basic concepts of programming PIC microcontrollers using the basic language. The difference with this book to all the others I have read is how John Iovine makes it all so simple. He has detailed intructions of all his projects which are some of the most exciting I have yet seen. He uses microcontrollers to interface with servo motors,DC motors AC appliances & stepper motors to name a few. The strength of Iovines approach is in the Pic programming software which converts your basic program into machine code. This enables you to write short tight programs which, because a basic interpreter is not required, run very fast indeed. The hardware required is clearly stated with each Chapter and is very reasonbly priced. A list of suppliers is also included.In short this is a 'must-have' book for anybody starting out experimenting with microcontrollers. It is also very suitable for 'intermediates'and younger people who have an interest in electronics and want to know more about what microcontrollers will do in a wonderfully readable format. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensible, 29 Mar 2006
By A Customer
If the other reviews haven't convinced you to get this book, then let me try. Completely new to the topic of PIC microcontrollers I read this book and guess what? Thats right, now I can use them. Clear, concise and in my opinion-indespensible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Programming the PIC in Basic, 23 Nov 2003
By A Customer
If you only buy one basic programming book for the PIC, make it this one. Clear,unambiguous and authorative. I can't wait for the next one the author promises in the text!
