	Discovering PICS Ref: 880-101 Discovering PICs introduces you to assembly language programming using the PIC16F627/PIC16F627A & MPLAB® controller. development environment. The book tells you something about what is going on inside a PIC. You can find out about bits & bytes & about binary arithmetic. The circuits needed to build bistables, registers & counters are described & you will understand the importance of tristates, decoders & memory as building blocks for microcontroller systems. Later chapters consist of guided projects which show you how to develop a new PIC system. The matrix die and wavy wand projects are straightforward, but you can also follow the step by step development of more sophisticated games timer and pulse monitor circuits. Using assembly language gives you a much better understanding of how PICs work. In addition, you can access & use all the capabilities of the PIC, including true interrupts, look up tables, voltage comparators & the sleep function. In addition to the book, the Discovering PICs package includes a CD-ROM with the complete text of the book in Acrobat® .pdf form, together with the .asm source files for all the programs, with various data resource files & Internet links. £22.00(Excluding: VAT at 17.5%)
