Programming PIC Microcontrollers with PicBASIC

This comprehensive tutorial assumes no prior experience with PICBASIC. Both the standard PicBasic Compiler and PicBasic Pro Compiler are covered.

It opens with an introduction to such basic concepts as variables, statements, operators, and structures. This is followed by discussion of the two most commonly used PICBASIC compilers. The author then discusses programming the one of the most common versions of the PIC microcontroller, the 16F876.

Programming and Customizing PICmicro Microcontrollers 

by Myke Predco     

  • 25 complete projects which illustrate the PICmicro MCU capabilities
  • 45 experiments to reinforce your grasp of how the PICmicro microcontroller works
  • An explanation of the tools used for developing code for PICmicro MCU applications including the design of two PICmicro programmers and an Emulator you can build yourself
  • Suggestions for debugging and easier code development

This book takes over where the PicBasic Pro Compiler's manual leaves off. It illustrates how to control readily available devices such as analog to digital and digital to analog converters, temperature sensors, etc., that may be incorporated into your own projects. In addition, tips and techniques are discussed which allow even more control over the PICmicro. Each experiment in the book has an accompanying program that shows exactly what is happening. Most are in the form of subroutines, ready to drop into your own program.

180 pages. Includes CDROM.
