Are you tired of copy and pasting code into your embedded projects? Do you want to write your own code from scratch for microcontrollers and understand what your code is doing?. Do you want to move beyond the Arduino?

Then get this book!

This is a book about developing embedded systems with 8 bit PIC microcontrollers using the XC8 compiler. There are many microcontroller enthusiasts who want to transition from using an Arduino and its many derivatives to using bare microcontrollers. However they do not know where to begin! In this book I will show you how to use microcontrollers. Though this book is geared toward those looking to migrate to the PIC microcontroller family, the language is clear enough that anyone can follow.

Though many persons are wondering why they should learn the PIC architecture when ARM microcontrollers are available from so many vendors and architectures like the AVR are available. The reason is simple. The PIC microcontroller family makes it easy to transition from 8 to 32 bits without changing environments and tools. The XC series of compilers from microchip also are simple to set up, completely free and all you have to do is click and run your code. Once you learn about the different peripherals on the PIC microcontroller, it will be easy to apply that knowledge to other microcontrollers.

The other advantage is that MPLAB X runs on Windows, MAC and Linux environments. You do not need to be a command line expert to work with PIC microcontrollers, so you can focus less on setting up your environment and more on your application. This book is complete and will help you understand modern PIC microcontrollers.

This book consists of 14 chapters and covers a host of topics. Every chapter is feature packed and they cover:

Introduction to PIC microcontrollers
How to set up the MPLAB X and XC8 compilers for microcontroller development.
Using GPIO and PPS
Interfacing LEDs, pushbuttons, motors, relays etc.
Using PWM, timers and counters
Interrupts
Interfacing character LCDs, GLCDs, colour LCDs, OLEDs and Touch Displays
Using the Core Independant Peripherals
Working with the CLC
On board FVR and Comparator applications
ADC module
DAC module
SPI protocol
I2C protocol
EUSART and Sofware UART communications
Using the eXtreme Low Power (XLP) options of PIC microcontrollers
Using GPS
Using GSM
AT commands
NEMA protocol
Wireless communications with WiFi and Bluetooth
Projects and a lot more!

This is THE BOOK TO GET STARTED WITH PIC MICROCONTROLLERS.
