Embedded C Programming: Techniques and Applications of C and PIC^® MCUs by Mark Siegesmund

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. 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.

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.
