Designing Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers
This book is a hands-on introduction to the principles and practice of embedded system design using the PIC microcontroller. Packed with helpful examples and illustrations, it gives an in-depth treatment of microcontroller design, programming in both assembly language and C, and features advanced topics such as networking and real-time operating systems.
Designing
Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers: Principles and Applications is ideal for students of electronics, mechatronics and computer engineering. Engineers in industry and informed hobbyists will also find this book a valuable resource when designing and implementing both simple and sophisticated embedded systems using the PIC Microcontroller.
* Gain the knowledge and skills required for developing today's embedded systems, through use of the PIC microcontroller.
* Explore in detail the 16F84A, 16F873A and 18F242 microcontrollers as examples of the wider PIC family.
* Learn how to program in Assembler and C.
* Work through sample designs and design ideas, including a robot in the form of an autonomous guided vehicle
