Free Book: PIC Microcontrollers - Programming in C

You can read this book “PIC Microcontrollers – Programming in C” By Milan Verle online for free. What are microcontrollers, anyway? Electronics built in one single chip capable of controlling a small submarine, a crane or an elevator…

Description
It’s up to you to decide what you want them to do and dump a program containing appropriate instructions into the chip. Your next question probably is: what do I need for it? Well, just a simple PC, a program for compiling and a simple device to transfer your code from the PC to the chip itself. Is it complicated? Absolutely not!

Novices in electronics usually think that the microcontroller is the same as the microprocessor. That’s not true. They differ from each other in many ways. The first and most important difference in favour of the microcontroller is its functionality. In order that the microprocessor may be used, other components, memory comes first, must be added to it. Even though it is considered a powerful computing machine, it is not adjusted to communicating to peripheral environment. In order to enable the microprocessor to communicate with peripheral environment, special circuits must be used. This is how it was in the beginning and remains the same today.
