Product Description

Review
"Very useful book which will provide a vital reference source to students studying PIC Microcontrollers. Good read, well laid out, good price

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 PICs capabilities through simple projects, this book is ideal for use in schools and colleges. The step-by-step explanations make it ideal for self-study too: this is not a reference book - you start work with the PIC straight away. The revised second edition covers the popular reprogrammable EEPROM PICs: P16C84/P16F84 as well as the P54 and P71 families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent PIC introduction, 24 May 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: PIC: Your Personal Introductory Course (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for beginners. It is still very useful even if you do have experience, reminding you of techniques you may have forgotten. It is clearly written in plain English helping you through examples and exercises to ensure you really do grasp the basics before moving on to more complicated ideas. If you are after just one PIC programming book, I would highly recommend this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Pic chips, 28 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: PIC: Your Personal Introductory Course (Paperback)

This book takes us through the features of the 16c57 processor giving examples of how each of the functions works and exercises to re-enforce their use. It then looks at the 16c71 and 16c50x chips and describes their differences from the 16c57.

Given its neat presentation and price it is easily the best value for money introduction to pics I've come across.
