Since this book is concerned mainly with software development, off-the-shelf hardware, such as the PICDEM mechatronics board featured in Part 4, is very useful. This is reflected in real applications by the use of standard hardware such as PC-compatible boards as the platform for a wide range of applications.
A general purpose board with a typical selection of peripherals attached to a PIC 16F877A is described here. This design was originally developed to demonstrate hardware interfacing techniques. The PIC 16F877 BASE (basic application and system evaluation) board incorporates six analog inputs, a 12-button keypad, a parallel 16×2 character LCD, ...
