PIC Projects and Applications Using C details how to program the PIC microcontroller in the C language. The book takes a learn-by-doing approach, with applications covering topics such as inputs, outputs, keypads, alphanumeric displays, analogue-to-digital conversion, radio transmitters and receivers, data EEPROM, interrupts and timing. To aid debugging, the book provides a section detailing the use of the simulator and in-circuit debugger.

With this book you will learn:

• How to program the PIC microcontroller in C

• Techniques for using the simulator and debuggers to find faults on your code

• The ins and outs of interfacing circuits, such as radio modules and liquid crystal displays

• How to use the PIC on-board functions, such as interrupts and timing modules, and make analogue measurements

• Relevant parts of the language are introduced and explained when required for those new to the subject

• Core principles are introduced gradually for self-paced learning

• Explains how and why a software program works, and how to alter and expand the code
