This tutorial-and-disk package is unique in providing you with a complete understanding of the Microchip PIC chip and all the information needed to design and debug tailor-made applications using the PIC family of devices. The heart of the book includes several applications projects which illustrate the PICÕs capabilities...over 30 experiments to reinforce your grasp of how the PIC works... discussion of how the devices are electronically programmed...an explanation of the tools for developing code for PIC applications...and suggestions for debugging and easier code development. A diskette augments the book by offering all the Microchip software tools needed to program the PIC, sample application programs, and reusable source code. Included are additional resources that help in application development and debugging and practical tips on avoiding typical application problems.
