Go beyond the jigsaw approach of just using blocks of code you don’t understand and become a programmer who really understands how your code works. Starting with the fundamentals on C programming, this book walks you through where the C language fits with microcontrollers. Next, you'll see how to use the industrial IDE, create and simulate a project, and download your program to an actual PIC microcontroller. You'll then advance into the main process of a C program and explore in depth the most common commands applied to a PIC microcontroller and see how to use the range of control registers inside the PIC. With C Programming for the PIC Microcontroller as your guide, you’ll become a better programmer who can truly say they have written and understand the code they use.What You’ll LearnUse the freely available MPLAX software Build a project and writea program using inputs from switches Create a variable delay with the oscillator sourceMeasure real-world signals using pressure, temperature, and speed inputsIncorporate LCD screens into your projectsApply what you’ve learned into a simple embedded programWho This Book Is For Hobbyists who want to move into the challenging world of embedded programming or students on an engineering course.

Delve into the exciting world of embedded programming with PIC microcontrollers in C. The key to learning how to program is to understand how the code works – and that is what you’ll learn here. Following C Programming for the PIC Microcontroller, this book continues exploring the coding required to control the PIC microcontroller and can be used as a standalone single reference, or paired with the previous title to enhance your programming skills. You'll see how to control the position of a servo motor and use the compare aspect of the CCP module to create a square wave with varying frequency. You'll also work with the capture aspect of the CCP to determine the frequency of a signal inputted to the PIC and use external and internal interrupts.This book breaks down the programs with line-by-line analysis to give you a deep understanding of the code. After reading it you’ll be able to use all three aspects of the Capture, Compare and PWM module; work with different types of interrupts; create useful projects with the 7 segment display; and use the LCD and push button keyboard. What You’ll LearnCreate a small musical keyboard with the PICManage a stepper motor with the PICUse the main features of the MPLABX IDEInterface the PIC to the real worldDesign and create useful programs based around the PIC18F4525Who This Book Is ForEngineering students and hobbyist who want to try their hand at embedded programming the PIC micros.

Now that you’ve built a few Arduino projects, and reused some pre-written sketches, it’s time to move on to the next step and explore the world of embedded programming. To truly up-skill, you'll need to understand how your code works, and that's where this book comes in. You'll review and work with several Arduino projects plus two extra ones written for a PIC microcontroller. Each one is accompanied with a basic circuit diagram and photos of the program working. Ideal for the Arduino hobbyist and PIC programmers who want to merge their skills, this comprehensive book will go over every aspect of the 8-bit microcontroller, provide line-by-line analysis of the code, and in the end, show you how to bring your Arduino projects to the PIC microcontroller using C. You'll gain a full understanding of how the C instructions work and can be used with the PIC microcontroller.Programming Arduino Projects with the PIC Microcontroller is your one-stop reference resource. What You’ll LearnExamine how the code works Create code to perform any functionBuild practical projects on vero boards with full vero plans and circuit diagramsUnderstand how programs work by simulation with an ECAD package Who This Book Is ForWould-be embedded programmers, Arduino hobbyists, and PIC programmers.

Discover the essential knowledge and practical skills to excel in the dynamic field of digital electronics with "Mastering Digital Electronics." From the fundamentals of diode resistor logic to unraveling the intricacies of TTL and CMOS logic gates, this book takes you on a journey through the evolution of digital electronics. Starting with the humble SR latch and progressing to the revolutionary JK flip flop that powers today's computer technology, you'll gain a solid foundation in binary arithmetic, Boolean algebra, and the representation and optimization of digital circuits.The book gives a firm understanding of digital electronics, then moves on to using standard design methods, such as state diagrams, to design everyday logic circuits such as counters, shift registers, PISO, and SIPO registers. It delves into how to design some challenging digital circuits such as a crossroad set of traffic lights with a pelican crossing and how to use the 555 timer to control a variety of applications. At every stage of the book, you will be learning how to use TINA version 12, an industry standard ECAD and many of its functions. Moreover, the book ventures into using the software to simulate and so confirm all the circuits you design.For readers interested in advancing to the practical implementation of the circuits discussed, the book provides opportunities to design PCB circuit boards for selected circuits using the software. This book will suit any student of digital electronics at any level and provide them with essential reference material for them to start a career in digital electronics.What You’ll LearnWhat logic gates are, and the difference between sequential and combinational logic. How to use binary numbers and how to perform all arithmetic operations Learn about the five basic logic gates; AND, NAND, OR, NOR and EXOR gates. How to minimize logic circuits using Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps.How to state diagrams to design logic circuits.How to design a range of logic circuits.Learn about combinational circuits and the half and full adder as well as a logic circuit to subtract binary numbers.Learn about the 555 timer and how to apply it to a range of logic circuits.Who This Book Is ForStudents who are studying for an engineering qualification. Hobbyist who wants to design digitalcircuits Engineers who need a go-to reference book on digital electronics.
