Summary:

This volume provides instruction concerning how to harness the power of the PIC microcontroller unit. The author provides eight projects, with illustrations and schematics that show how to design and build versatile PIC-based devices. He demonstrates how to configure all necessary hardware and software, read input voltages, work with control pulses, interface with peripherals, and debug the results. Also provided are appendices covering technical terms, abbreviations, and a list of sample programs available online.
