The PIC Microcontroller: Your Personal Introductory Course (1 ed)

The PIC Microcontroller: Your Personal Introductory Course 3rd Edition

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 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 working with the PIC microcontroller straight away.

The revised third edition focuses entirely on the reprogrammable flash PIC microcontrollers such as the PIC16F54, PIC16F84, and the extraordinary 8-pin PIC12F508 and PIC12F675 devices.

• Demystifies the leading microcontroller for students, engineers, and hobbyists.
• Emphasis on putting the PIC to work, not theoretical microelectronics.
• Simple programs and circuits introduce key features and commands through project work
