Product details

Product Description

Review

Using the PICmicro(R) family of microchips as examples, electronics writer Predko explains microcontrollers, programming languages, and programming. The author does assume his readers have some prior education or experience, and his technical text may require some additional reading. The CD-ROM includes source code, two sample operating systems, and HTML interfaces. (Library Journal )

Product Description

This book is a fully updated and revised compendium of PIC programming information. Comprehensive coverage of the PICMicros' hardware architecture and software schemes will complement the host of experiments and projects making this a true, "Learn as you go" tutorial. New sections on basic electronics and basic programming have been added for less sophisticated users along with 10 new projects and 20 new experiments. New pedagogical features have also been added such as "Programmers Tips" and "Hardware Fast FAQs".

Key Features:
* Printed Circuit Board for a PICMicro programmer included with the book! This programmer will have the capability to program all the PICMicros used by the application.
* Twice as many projects including a PICMicro based Webserver
* Twenty new "Experiments" to help the user better understand how the PICMicro works.
* An introduction to Electronics and Programming in the Appendices along with engineering formulas and PICMicro web references.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice intention/bad editing, 14 Nov 2001
By A Customer
When I read that this book has +1700 pages, a Printed Circuit Board for
building a PIC programmer and also a CD full of programs and information,
I stampede to buy it.

However, when received and started to use it, I found that key elements I
needed for my particular PIC project were inaccurate and/or sadly wrong,
forcing me to consult the PIC's datasheet (If I buy a book about
microcontrollers, the last thing I want to do is to check the datasheet so often!).

I am afraid the book is poorly edited. -Several- key mathematical formulas
(v.g. the ones for calculating baudrates) are wrong or incomplete,
apparently because some sort of font problem which produce consistent typo
errors??, but typo errors in formulas are fatal!

Crucial terms at the glossary are wrong or over simplified. A bad
strategy I am afraid.
When something is over simplified you end saying nothing or something
wrong which will add confusion in the long term for beginners starting with this book.

The level is for beginner-intermediate, and since I was hoping higher
level this is may be shifting my comments. But in my opinion this book
could be a good resource if re-edited (I am analyzing the 2nd edition).

Other readers may find inappropriate other more aesthetic qualities of
the book and author's style. Most photographs appear to be taken by
non-professionals and almost all seems to have a very distractive
photo-effect like a flash dot in the middle of the object of interest...

Hope this helps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Programming & Customizing the PICmicro (TAB Electronics)., 5 May 2003
By Iain Everson (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Second Addition
I was most disappointed with this book. Not only where there inconsistencies with info on the PIC’s, I had to refer to the Data sheets in the end, but I also found that the schematic diagrams and PCB layouts given for the main projects where incorrect.
One PCB, the Dev board, had a track crossing over another that clearly wasn’t meant to and several tracks that go nowhere.
Also the PCB drawing on the CD is in Gerber format making them very difficult to view if you don’t have the right software. The literature on CD does mention that there are two free programs that are available to view Gerber files exclusively and could be found on the net.
This book is designed for the intermediate hobbyist; you will need to be just that to correct the mistakes that have gone undetected. It’s a shame as with a little more for thought this book could be an excellent addition to anyone’s workshop.
