About This Book
This book, is an entry level text for those who want to explore the wonderful world of microcontrollers.
Electronics has always fascinated me,
ever since I was a child, making small crystal radio was the best pro-
ject I still remember. I still enjoy the feel when I first heard my radio. Over the period of years and decades
electronics has progressed, analogs changed into digital and digital into programmable.
A few years back it was a haunting
task to design a project, solely with gates and relays etc, today its ex-
tremely easy, just replace the
components with your program, and that is it.
As an hobbyist I found it extremely difficult, to start microcontrollers,
however thanks to internet, and ex-
cellent cataloging by Google which made my task easier.
A large number of material in this text has its origins in someone else’s work, like I made extensive use of
text available from Mikroelectronica and other sites.
This text is basically an accompanying tutorial for our PIC-Lab-II training board.
I wish my this attempt help someone, write another text.
