In his Beginners Guide to Embedded C and Beginners
Guide to Embedded C Volume 2 books Chuck Hellebuyck took the reader
through the very beginning of learning how to program embedded microcontrollers
in the C language using a Microchip PIC microcontroller and the Microchip
HI-TECH C compiler.
In Beginners 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.
