Book description

Extensively revised and updated to encompass the latest developments in the PIC 18FXXX series, this book demonstrates how to develop a range of microcontroller applications through a project-based approach. After giving an introduction to programming in C using the popular mikroC Pro for PIC and MPLAB XC8 languages, this book describes the project development cycle in full. The book walks you through fully tried and tested hands-on projects, including many new, advanced topics such as Ethernet programming, digital signal processing, and RFid technology. This book is ideal for engineers, technicians, hobbyists and students who have knowledge of the basic principles of PIC microcontrollers and want to develop more advanced applications using the PIC18F series.

This book Includes over fifty projects which are divided into three categories: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced.

New projects in this edition:

    Logic probeCustom LCD font designHi/Lo gameGenerating various waveforms in real-timeUltrasonic height measurementFrequency counterReaction timerGPS projectsClosed-loop ON/OFF temperature controlBluetooth projects (master and slave)RFid projectsClock using Real-time-clock (RTC) chipRTC alarm projectGraphics LCD (GLCD) projectsBarometer+thermometer+altimeter projectPlotting temperature on GLCDEthernet web browser based controlEthernet UDP based controlDigital signal processing (Low Pass Filter design)Automotive LIN bus projectAutomotive CAN bus projectMultitasking projects (using both cooperative and Round-robin scheduling)Unipolar stepper motor projectsBipolar stepper motor projectsClosed-loop ON/OFF DC motor control

    • A clear introduction to the PIC 18FXXX microcontroller's architecture
    • Covers developing wireless and sensor network applications, SD card projects, and multi-tasking; all demonstrated with the block and circuit diagram, program description in PDL, program listing, and program description
    • Includes more than 50 basic, intermediate, and advanced projects
