Beginners Guide to Embedded
C Programming
Volume 3
Creating the SimpleC Library of Functions
In “Beginner’s Guide to Embedded C Programming – Volume
3” Chuck Hellebuyck takes another leap forward by showing you the steps
to create the SimpleC library of functions that make programming in C even
easier. This approach shows the reader how they can create their own functions
and expand the SimpleC library to make creating microcontroller projects
much quicker than writing in raw C code. This book will clearly be the
reference for future programmers who want to build electronic gadgets without
all the painstaking steps of writing every C statement while producing
a working project in less time and with less effort.
The SimpleC library will make the following functions as easy as
one command line:
• Controlling Digital Outputs
• Reading Digital Inputs
• Monitoring Analog Voltages
• Driving Liquid Crystal Display Modules
• Driving Digital PWM Signals
• Sending/Receiving via SPI and I2C Communication
• Writing to/Reading from External EEPROM
• Writing to/Reading from External I/O Expanders
• And More!
The book uses the open source PIC16F886 based CHIPINO module for
the hardware and also forms the platform to make future electronic projects
and gadgets easier to build.

Beginners Guide to Embedded
C Programming
Volume 2
Timers, Interrupts, Communication, Displays and More
• Timers, Interrupts, Displays, Serial
Communication, Motor Control projects
• Shows how to use the Microchip PIC16F690
microcontroller peripherals
• All projects use the Microchip PICkit™2
Programmer/Development Board
• Free Lite version of HI-TECH C®
Pro compiler used for all of the book’s projectsIf you liked
his first C book “Beginner’s Guide to Embedded C Programming” then you
will love this one. When you have finished reading this book and completed
the projects, you’ll be well beyond the title of Beginner and well on your
way to becoming an experienced programmer in C.
In this “Volume 2” Chuck takes the reader to the next level by introducing
how to drive displays, how to use interrupts, how to use serial communication,
how to use the internal hardware peripherals of the PIC16F690 Microcontroller
such as SPI, PWM and Timers. He even introduces how to drive a stepper
motor for those looking for electromechanical design help. He tackles these
topics with his typical down to earth style of writing that makes the reader
comfortable as they learn what some consider very difficult topics for
the beginner. In addition he continues to use the very powerful HI-TECH
C compiler in its free Lite mode so the reader can program along with little
or no expense.
All the projects in the book include the software and the hardware
schematics so the reader can reproduce the same projects Chuck creates
on their own. This is a great companion to the “Beginner’s Guide to Embedded
C Programming” but also stands well on its own. If you are looking to learn
Embedded C Programming for the Microchip PIC Microcontroller or want to
expand your knowledge of using the internal features, then this book needs
to be in your library.
