Easy Pic'N: A Beginners Guide to Using Pic16/17 Microcontrollers from Square 1

"Easy PIC'n" is intended to ease the beginner toward understanding and application of the PIC line of microcontrollers from Microchip Technology, Inc. The approach is hands-on with many examples, all of which may be demonstrated using a very simple demo board (a project) described at the beginning of the book. The reader is shown step-by-step how to write code. Examples of assembly language programs range from a simple one to turn on LED's to more complex ones for timing and for event-counting. Writing programs is covered in-depth and the use of flow charts as an aid to visualizing what a program does is emphasized. The reader's code is used to exercise the demo board giving tangible results. "Easy PIC'n" provides a crawl, walk, run approach to learning about PIC microcontrollers.
