Programming the PIC Microcontroller with MBASIC

The Microchip PIC family of microcontrollers is the most popular series of microcontrollers in the world. However, no microcontroller is really good. This comprehensive reference focuses on designing with Microchip's mid-range. PIC line using MBASIC, and powerful but easy to learn programming language. It illustrates MBASIC's abilities through a series of design examples, beginning with simple PIC-based projects. Unlike other design, it also covers essential hardware and software design foundations of the PIC microcontroller series, including the MBASIC. Details of hardware / software interfacing to the PIC are also provided.
BENEFIT TO THE READER: This book provides one of the most well-known microcontroller, with numerous hardware and software design and development tools. Using MBASIC, it is possible to develop the PIC in a much shorter time frame.

* Offers a complete introduction to a the most popular microcontroller in the world, using the MBASIC compiler from a company

* Provides numerous real-world design examples, all-carefully tested

* CD contains the source code files and executables, and will be included in the MBASIC compiler, allowing engineers to work out the design exercises in the book
