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 projects
If 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.
