Getting Started Your Journey To Learning How To Program PICs: Beginning With The Basics

The recent trends in advanced technology help develop advanced electronic gadgets. Most of these electronic devices are developed using microcontrollers.



The author introduces how to use this development setup to build useful projects with an 8-pin PIC12F683 microcontroller. All the projects include a detailed schematic and directions of how to build the hardware on a breadboard. Then he details how to write the software so you not only recreate the project but also learn how to write and modify the program. His down-to-earth style leaves you feeling comfortable and capable to create your own unique project ideas.



Inside you'll learn about:



Controlling digital outputs by driving LEDs and Speakers

Sensing digital inputs by monitoring switches

Sensing analog signals using an Analog to Digital converter

How to sense light and vibration

How to make sound

How to write software using the PICBASIC PRO language
