123 Pic Microcontroller Experiments For The Evil Genius

Actually none of these experiments are inherently evil, so obviously the reader will be responsible for the dark side of, say, library functions. However, test architect Predko supplies enough experiments to keep you busy, including those that reveal what lies behind the covers, what lurks behind introductory C programming, simple applications and features, and what is likely to jump out of the microcontroller's built-in functions. Predko unearths interfacing projects, C microcontroller applications and MCU assembly language programming. In the really potentially evil sections he gives experiments in sensors, motor control, and robot-related software. Annotation c2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
