Programming PIC Microcontrollers With PICBASIC - $55.95

by Chuck Hellebuyck

The PICBASIC™ programming language makes it possible to create powerful software for the PIC^® microcontroller in days instead of the weeks required when using assembly language. This comprehensive tutorial assumes no prior experience with PICBASIC.

It opens with an introduction to such basic concepts as variables, statements, operators, and structures. This is followed by discussion of the two most commonly used PICBASIC compilers. The author then discusses programming the one of the most common versions of the PIC microcontroller, the 16F876. 

The remainder of the book examines several real-world examples of programming PICs with PICBASIC. In keeping with the integrated nature of embedded technology, both hardware and software are discussed in these examples; circuit details are given so that readers may replicate the designs for themselves or use them as the starting points for their development efforts. 

KEY FEATURES: Chapters and projects for both the standard PICBASIC™ Compiler and PICBASIC PRO™ Compiler. Accompanying CD contains the source files and executables discussed in the book as well as an electronic version of the book. 12-, 14-, and 16-bit PICmicro® MCU architecture. Handling interrupts and exceptions. redirection and branching commands. communication between multiple PICmicro microcontrollers. Direct access to input/output and special function registers.
