1-456

The 1-456 is a Microcontrol'n Apps using PIC® Microcontrollers Book by David Benson. It is an intermediate level applications guide covering Microchip Technology's PIC® microcontrollers. Serial communication as a means of transferring data between PIC microcontrollers and peripheral chips and also between two or more PIC microcontrollers is described. Use of the 93C46 serial EEPROM is detailed as an example. Since we live in an analogue world, A/D and D/A are discussed with several methods illustrated for each. Interfacing PIC microcontroller-controlled systems with humans requires some math, binary to decimal conversion and vice versa, alphanumeric LCD interfacing and scanning keypads. Single wire serial communication with a PIC controlled LCD module which can be built by the reader is included. The book also explains how to establish serial communication between a PIC microcontroller and a PC via a RS-232 conversion circuit and a terminal program.
