Abstract

Interfacing PIC Microcontrollers, 2nd Edition is a great introductory text for those starting out in this field and as a source reference for more experienced engineers. Martin Bates has drawn upon 20 years of experience of teaching microprocessor systems to produce a book containing an excellent balance of theory and practice with numerous working examples throughout.

It provides comprehensive coverage of basic microcontroller system interfacing using the latest interactive software, Proteus VSM, which allows real-time simulation of microcontroller based designs and supports the development of new applications from initial concept to final testing and deployment.

• Comprehensive introduction to interfacing 8-bit PIC microcontrollers
• Designs updated for current software versions MPLAB v8 & Proteus VSM v8
• Additional applications in wireless communications, intelligent sensors and more

"…He revises, updates, and expands his tutorial on using the microcontroller; it can support learning at college, at work, or at home…It is a sequel to his PIC Microcontrollers: An Introduction to Microelectronics. He explores the basic techniques for connecting the PIC to simple input and output devices such as switches, sensors, display, and motors. He also demonstrates methods that allow the PIC to communicate data with other devices, including intelligent sensors."--ProtoView.com, February 2014
