123 PIC Microcontroller Experiments for the Evil Genius
123 PIC&#174; MICROCONTROLLER EXPERIMENTS FOR THE EVIL GENIUS123 STEPS FROM NEWBIE TO PIC PROGRAMMING GENIUS!"Smart" house features and "smart" appliances, are just some of  the multitude of  inexpensive PIC micontroller projects created by PIC expert Myke Predko.More than just hours of fun, these exciting experiments provide a solid grounding in PIC microcontrollers and the skills needed to program them -- from the ground up. Each experiment builds on those before it, so you develop a hands-on, practical understanding of microcontroller programming. You don't need any knowledge of programming to get started. But by the end, you'll be able to complete your own awesome projects!123 PIC Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius:Introduces you to programming and customizing the PIC MCU step-by-step -- you don't need to be a whiz to get started, but you will be when you are finishedShows you how to set up your own PICmicro MCU (microcontroller) and development lab based on one inexpensive Microchip PICkit 1(R) starter kitVividly explains the science and electronics underlying microcontrollersGives you enjoyable step-by-step experiments that build your skills, one small increment at a timeTeaches you to program PICmicros in both C and assembly languageShows you how to interface sensors, switches, LEDs, LCDs, and other commonly used electronic interfacesOffers step-by-step experiments that develop handy resource routines in assembly languageChallenges you to stretch the limits of PIC MCU applicationsSuggests exciting directions you can take your new programming skillsSupplies parts lists and program listingsGo to:  www.books.mcgraw-hill.com/authors/predko for:Full source code for the experimentsPC executable codeLinks to buy your own Microchip PICkit 1 starter kitLinks to other resourcesIMAGINATIVE EXPERIMENTS THAT TEACH PIC MCU  PROGRAMMING -- WHILE PROVIDING HOURS OF LEARNING FUN![Inside book] ABOUT THE AUTHOR Myke Predko is Test Architect at Celestica, in Toronto, Canada, a supplier of printed circuit boards to the computer industry.
