Product Description

Product Description

PIC in Practice is a graded course based around the practical use of the PIC microcontroller through project work. Principles are introduced gradually, through hands-on experience, enabling students to develop their understanding at their own pace.

Dave Smith has based the book on his popular short courses on the PIC for professionals, students and teachers at Manchester Metropolitan University. The result is a graded text, formulated around practical exercises, which truly guides the reader from square one.

The book can be used at a variety of levels and the carefully graded projects make it ideal for colleges, schools and universities. Newcomers to the PIC will find it a painless introduction, whilst electronics hobbyists will enjoy the practical nature of this first course in microcontrollers.

PIC in Practice introduces applications using the popular 16F84 device as well as the 16F627, 16F877, 12C508, 12C629 and 12C675. In this new edition excellent coverage is given to the 16F818, with additional information on writing and documenting software.

* Gentle introduction to using PICs for electronic applications
* Principles and programming introduced through graded projects
* Thoroughly up-to-date with new chapters on the 16F818 and writing and documenting programs

From the Publisher

PIC in Practice introduces applications using the popular 16F84 device and includes sections on the 16C711, 12C508, 16F87X and the latest 16F627 devices. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars a very good place to start, 7 Mar 2003
By J.Hodgson (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PIC in Practice: An Introduction to the PIC Microcontroller (Paperback)
Having previously attempted Myke Predko's book, this book was a revelation. VERY easy to follow and pick up concepts from. I also have John Morton's book which probably has slightly better depth, but PIC in Practice scores highly in using mostly the 16F84 flash programmable chip making it quick to write over errors or to make small alterations in examples to examine the effects.

4.0 out of 5 stars second edition please..., 19 Oct 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: PIC in Practice: An Introduction to the PIC Microcontroller (Paperback)
about the third PIC book i bought,and definately the best! this book manages to cover more ground than many books twice the thickness (naming no names...)Some very clear explanations,and an easy introduction for beginners which encourages experimentation with assembly language (scary for newbies!)no fancy PC/hardware setup is required even one of the 'six bits and a socket' programmers will suffice,my original setup cost around £2.The book (as does any technology title)shows it's age,though it was upto date when published it could do with a refresh to cover later PIC's; this said it is a WHOLE lot more upto-date than the two other british paperbacks.If i had to choose which book to recommend to someone keen to learn about PIC micro's ON ANY BUDGET it would be this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what it's cracked up to be., 1 Feb 2008
By Dale A. Haines "master_ice" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: PIC in Practice: An Introduction to the PIC Microcontroller (Paperback)
I bought this book on the basis of several reviews and have been, I'm sorry to say, sorely disappointed.
It may well have worked very well as part of the support regime of the author's university lecture but as a stand alone learning tool, I feel it fails badly.
If you wish to be given programs to input and run then yes the book's fine. If you wish to fully understand the instruction set and implementation within PICs then it doesn't work.
There is a list of the PIC instruction set in the back of the book but it sorely lacks a cohesive way of explaining their functions.
And be warned that the links to the Manchester Metropolitan University website no long work. And no body that location has the common decency to even reply to e-mails asking if they can help track Mr Smith's pages down.
All in all I'd have to say that this is not a book for the beginner and I don't even classify myself as that since I have spent many, many years working in machine code on a wide range of microprocessors.
