Each chapter ends with suggestions for further applications, based on the examples given, and line drawings illustrate various hardware applications. Step-by-step examples in assembly language used to describe a set of interfaces, and can be run interactively on circuit simulation software, used to help understand without the need to build real hardware. A companion website includes all examples in the text that can be downloaded together with the free version of Proteus's ISIS Lite: www.picmicros.org.uk * Comprehensive coverage of topics that are not much explored in the wealth of PIC books on the market, concentrating on the popular PIC16F877 device * Circuit simulation software allows step-by-step examples, supplied as assembly source, to be run interactively - helping students, technicians and learning hobby. * A companion website includes all examples in the text that can be downloaded together with the free version of Proteus's ISIS Lite: www.picmicros.org.uk
