Martin Bates, author of best-selling book, has provided a step-by-step to programming these microcontrollers (MCUs) with the programming language C. With no previous knowledge of C necessary to read this book, is perfect for entry into this world for engineers who have not worked with PICs, new professionals, students, and enthusiasts. As MCUs become more complex C is the most popular language for its ability to process advanced processes and multitasking. * Focus on the C programming language is by far the most popular for microcontrollers (MCUs) * Features Proteus VSMg most complete microcontroller simulator on the market, along with CCS PCM C compiler, both are highly compatible with Microchip tools * Extensive downloadable content including fully worked examples
