Getting Started with PICs:
In the January 2006 Nuts & Volts Magazine, Chuck
Hellebuyck started a column titled "Getting Started with PIC's" that
focused on the beginner and PICBASIC PRO. It became a popular column
and continues in Nuts & Volts Magazine today.
Getting Started With PICs Vol 2
Continues where the first book left
off. This book contains the collection of the next 12 articles that
were published in Nuts & Volts magazines of 2007. A great
compliment to Vol 1 and a must have if you’re entering the world of
Pics &
Programming.
Beginner's Guide to Embedded C Programming:
The C language has been covered in many books but none as dedicated to
the embedded microcontroller beginner as the Beginner's Guide to
Embedded C Programming. Through his down to earth style of writing
Chuck Hellebuyck delivers a step by step introduction to learning how
to program microcontrollers with the C language. In addition he uses a
powerful C compiler that the reader can download for free in a series
of hands on projects with sample code so you can learn right along with
him. For the hardware he found the best low cost but effective
development starter kit that includes a PIC16F690 microcontroller and
everything else the beginner needs to program and develop embedded
designs, even beyond the book's projects. There isn't a better entry
level guide to learning embedded C programming than the Beginner's
Guide to Embedded C Programming.
Beginner's Guide to Embedded C Programming Vol 2:
In this “Volume 2” Chuck takes the reader to the next level by
introducing how to drive displays, how to use interrupts, how to use
serial communication, how to use the internal hardware peripherals of
the PIC16F690 Microcontroller such as SPI, PWM and Timers. He even
introduces how to drive a stepper motor for those looking for
electromechanical design help. He tackles these topics with his typical
down to earth style of writing that makes the reader comfortable as
they learn what some consider very difficult topics for the beginner.
In addition he continues to use the very powerful HI-TECH C compiler in
its free Lite mode so the reader can program along with little or no
expense.
PIC Kit2 Starter Kit:
The PICkit 2 Starter Kit contains a PICkit 2 Microcontroller Programmer
and a PICkit 2 Low Pin Count Demo Board containing a PIC16F690 PDIP for
getting started with programming baseline and midrange flash
microcontrollers. PICkit 2 takes advantage of Microchips Full-Speed USB
device, thereby significantly speeding up development programming. The
PICkit 2 Low Pin Count Demo Board supports 8-, 14-, and 20-pin
PICmicros. In addition to the PIC16F690, the board comes with 4 LEDs, a
pushbutton, and a pot. Also included are 12 lessons to help get
developers up to speed quickly on programming PICmicro MCUs.
PIC Kit2 Upgrade Parts
These components are added to the PICKit 2 that Chuck uses for his projects in his new book.
