Microcontrollers: From Assembly Language to C Using the PIC24 Family

by R. Reese, B. Jones, and J. W. Bruce

This book covers a broad range of topics in a straightforward, conversational style accessible to students and hobbyists alike. Topics include PIC24 assembly language programming and hardware interfacing using the C language. The text introduces the PIC24 library collection and contains an extensive set of examples carefully explained in the text. The text then presents ESOS, a low-overhead operating system for the PIC24 and provides a capstone design chapter in which the designs of an audio record/playback system reflow oven and a remote-controlled robot are presented.
