Designing Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers

PIC microcontrollers are used worldwide in commercial and industrial devices. This title focuses on the 8-bit PIC which is a versatile work horse that completes many designs. It takes you from introduction of embedded systems through to advanced development techniques for utilizing and optimizing the PIC family of microcontrollers in your device.

Autorentext
Tim Wilmshurst is the author of Designing Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers. He has been designing embedded systems since the early days of microcontrollers. For many years this was for Cambridge University, where he led a development team building original systems for research applications for example in measurement of bullet speed, wind tunnel control, simulated earthquakes, or seeking a cure to snoring. Now he is Head of Electronic Systems at the University of Derby, where he aims to share his love of engineering design with his students.
