About this ebook
*Just months after the introduction of the new generation of 32-bit PIC microcontrollers, a Microchip insider and acclaimed author takes you by hand at the exploration of the PIC32*Includes handy checklists to help readers perform the most common programming and debugging tasksThe new 32-bit microcontrollers bring the promise of more speed and more performance while offering an unprecedented level of compatibility with existing 8 and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers. In sixteen engaging chapters, using a parallel track to his previous title dedicated to 16-bit programming, the author puts all these claims to test while offering a gradual introduction to the development and debugging of embedded control applications in C. Author Lucio Di Jasio, a PIC and embedded control expert, offers unique insight into the new 32-bit architecture while developing a number of projects of growing complexity. Experienced PIC users and newcomers to the field alike will benefit from the text's many thorough examples which demonstrate how to nimbly side-step common obstacles, solve real-world design problems efficiently and optimize code using the new PIC32 features and peripheral set. You will learn about:*basic timing and I/O operation*debugging methods with the MPLAB SIM *simulator and ICD tools*multitasking using the PIC32 interrupts*all the new hardware peripherals*how to control LCD displays*experimenting with the Explorer16 board and *the PIC32 Starter Kit*accessing mass-storage media*generating audio and video signals *and more!TABLE OF CONTENTSDay 1 And the adventure beginsDay 2 Walking in circlesDay 3 Message in a BottleDay 4 NUMB3RSDay 5 InterruptsDay 6 Memory Part 2 ExperimentingDay 7 RunningDay 8 Communication Day 9 LinksDay 10 Glass = BlissDay 11 It's an analog worldPart 3 ExpansionDay 12 Capturing User InputsDay 13 UTubeDay 14 Mass StorageDay 15 File I/ODay 16 Musica Maestro! - 32-bit microcontrollers are becoming the technology of choice for high performance embedded control applications including portable media players, cell phones, and GPS receivers. - Learn to use the C programming language for advanced embedded control designs and/or learn to migrate your applications from previous 8 and 16-bit architectures.

This book isn't for the faint of heart. When reading this book I'd suggest opening up a second tab pointing to the companion website. I first purchased this text as a print version and didn't have web access. I had to debug some of the code; what an excellent learning experience. I'd recommend this book to someone who has some basic programming experience. If you just want to blindly copy code and not consult the datasheets on the PIC32 peripherals, Explorer User's manual and the attached hardware then I wouldn't recommend this book for you. Understandably there is pressure to put a book out on new hardware as soon as possible. Much of the code could have been in working order; this is my only complaint. The author is entertaining and covers well a broad range of engineering concepts (fast Fourier transform and state machines implementation in software). Thank you for the leg up on this exciting piece of hardware Lucio!

After reading this book, I no longer need other books on embedded, datasheets work beautifully.
