Mark Siegesmund, founder of CCS and creator of the CCS C Compiler for PIC® MCUs, has recently published a new book: Embedded C Programming - Techniques and Applications of C and PIC® MCUs. The intended audience are those without formal training in C or those lacking experience programming a microcontroller. This is an excellent text for Electrical Engineers and others who need to get up to speed on the C language. This book provides a hands-on introductory course on concepts of C programming using a PIC® microcontroller and the CCS C compiler. Through a project-based approach, this book provides an easy to understand method of learning the correct and efficient practices to program a PIC® microcontroller in the C language. Principles of C programming are introduced gradually, building on skill sets and knowledge. Early chapters emphasize the understanding of C language through experience and exercises, while the latter half of the book covers the PIC® microcontroller, its peripherals, and how to use those peripherals from within C in great detail.
This book demonstrates the programming methodology and tools used by most professionals in embedded design. The reader will be able to apply what they learn to real-life embedded applications. Providing a step-by-step guide to the subject matter, this book will encourage you to alter, expand, and customize code for use in your own projects.
Key features include:
- A complete introduction to C programming using PIC® microcontrollers, with a focus on real-world applications, programming methodology and tools
- Each chapter includes code examples, exercises and a quiz.
- C code project examples, tables, graphs, charts, references, photographs, schematic diagrams, flow charts and compiler compatibility notes to channel your knowledge into real-world examples.
- Includes Single-Chip C compiler software with full documentation.
- Online educator materials available from publisher.
- Low-cost companion hardware available.
