Programming PIC Microcontrollers with XC8 by Armstrong Subero

Programming PIC Microcontrollers with XC8 by Armstrong Subero

Are you tired of copying and pasting code into your embedded projects? Do you want to write your own code from scratch for microcontrollers and understand what your code is doing without all the frills and math? This book uses a practical approach to show you how to develop embedded systems with 8-bit PIC microcontrollers using the XC8 compiler.

Written for those who want more than an Arduino, but less than the more complex microcontrollers on the market, this new edition is fully updated and covers embedded design principles such as foreground-background loops and event driven programming. You’ll learn how to interface with things like Motors, PID loop control and writing a browser-based monitoring system! This book is heavy on code, schematics, and images and focuses less on the theoretical aspects of using microcontrollers.

Coverage includes writing a display driver, using the DAC for a multitude of waveform generation techniques, and building 8-bit IoT systems, real time telemetry, a countdown timer, and new peripherals. These topics are important if you want to learn more about PIC microcontroller devices as a whole. You'll also see the advantage that MPLAB X offers by running on Windows, Mac and Linux environments. You don't need to be a command line expert to work with PIC microcontrollers, so you can focus less on setting up your environment and more on your application. 

If you want to move beyond the Arduino, Programming PIC Microcontrollers with XC8 is your complete guide to understanding modern PIC microcontrollers.

What You’ll Learn

• Set up the MPLAB X and XC8 compilers for microcontroller development
• Use GPIO and PPS
• Review EUSART and Software UART communications
• Use the eXtreme Low Power (XLP) options of PIC microcontrollers
• Explore wireless communications with WiFi and Bluetooth

Who This Book Is For

Those with basic electronic device and electronic equipment experience and some knowledge of the C programming and digital electronics. Also targeted towards students wanting a practical overview of microcontrollers outside of the classroom.

Armstrong Subero has been tinkering with electronics for as long as he can remember. The thrill of creating something from the ground up and watching it work is something that one never shakes. His entire life changed when he discovered microcontrollers. They were so powerful and simple and complex, all at the same time. After finishing school, Armstrong taught himself programming. Armstrong landed his first job as a Systems Technologist completely self taught and a lot of it was due to his in depth knowledge and passion for microcontroller technology. He has used many microcontroller families during the course of his work, however he has an affinity for PIC microcontrollers. Armstrong currently works for the Ministry of National Security in his country and designs robots as well as write books, blogs and software on trinirobotics.com and angelstemlabs.org in his free time.
