This book is a thoroughly practical way to explore the 8051 and discover C programming through project work. Through graded projects, Dogan Ibrahim introduces the reader to the fundamentals of microelectronics, the 8051 family, programming in C, and the use of a C compiler. The specific device used for examples is the AT89C2051 - a small, economical chip with re-writable memory, readily available from the major component suppliers. A working knowledge of microcontrollers, and how to program them, is essential for all students of electronics. In this rapidly expanding field many students and professionals at all levels need to get up to speed with practical microcontroller applications. Their rapid fall in price has made microcontrollers the most exciting and accessible new development in electronics for years - rendering them equally popular with engineers, electronics hobbyists and teachers looking for a fresh range of projects. Microcontroller Projects in C for the 8051 is an ideal resource for self-study as well as providing an interesting, enjoyable and easily mastered alternative to more theoretical textbooks. Practical projects that enable students and practitioners to get up and running straight away with 8051 microcontrollers A hands-on introduction to practical C programming A wealth of project ideas for students and enthusiasts

The PIC microcontroller from Microchip is one of the most widely used 8-bit microcontrollers in the world. In this book, the authors use a step-by-step and systematic approach to show the programming of the PIC18 chip. Examples in both Assembly language and C show how to program many of the PIC18 features such as timers, serial communication, ADC, and SPI.

This guide by Microchip insider Lucio Di Jasio teaches readers everything they need to know about the architecture of these new chips: how to program them, how to test them, and how to debug them.

Go beyond the jigsaw approach of just using blocks of code you don’t understand and become a programmer who really understands how your code works. Starting with the fundamentals on C programming, this book walks you through where the C language fits with microcontrollers. Next, you'll see how to use the industrial IDE, create and simulate a project, and download your program to an actual PIC microcontroller. You'll then advance into the main process of a C program and explore in depth the most common commands applied to a PIC microcontroller and see how to use the range of control registers inside the PIC. With C Programming for the PIC Microcontroller as your guide, you’ll become a better programmer who can truly say they have written and understand the code they use. What You’ll LearnUse the freely available MPLAX software Build a project and write a program using inputs from switches Create a variable delay with the oscillator sourceMeasure real-world signals using pressure, temperature, and speed inputsIncorporate LCD screens into your projectsApply what you’ve learned into a simple embedded programWho This Book Is For Hobbyists who want to move into the challenging world of embedded programming or students on an engineering course.

Interfacing PIC Microcontrollers, 2nd Edition is a great introductory text for those starting out in this field and as a source reference for more experienced engineers. Martin Bates has drawn upon 20 years of experience of teaching microprocessor systems to produce a book containing an excellent balance of theory and practice with numerous working examples throughout. It provides comprehensive coverage of basic microcontroller system interfacing using the latest interactive software, Proteus VSM, which allows real-time simulation of microcontroller based designs and supports the development of new applications from initial concept to final testing and deployment. - Comprehensive introduction to interfacing 8-bit PIC microcontrollers - Designs updated for current software versions MPLAB v8 & Proteus VSM v8 - Additional applications in wireless communications, intelligent sensors and more

This book presents a thorough introduction to the Microchip PIC® microcontroller family, including all of the PIC programming and interfacing for all the peripheral functions. A step-by-step approach to PIC assembly language programming is presented, with tutorials that demonstrate how to use such inherent development tools such as the Integrated Development Environment MPLAB, PIC18 C compiler, the ICD2 in-circuit debugger, and several demo boards. Comprehensive coverage spans the topics of interrupts, timer functions, parallel I/O ports, various serial communications such as USART, SPI, I2C, CAN, A/D converters, and external memory expansion.
