The C language has been covered in many books but none as dedicated to the embedded microcontroller beginner as the Beginner`s Guide to Embedded C Programming. Through his down-to-earth style of writing Chuck Hellebuyck delivers a step-by-step introduction to learning how to program microcontrollers with the C language. In addition he uses a powerful C compiler that the reader can download for free in a series of hands-on projects with sample code so you can learn right along with him. For the hardware he found the best low-cost but effective development starter kit that includes a PIC16F690 microcontroller and everything else a beginner needs to program and develop embedded designs, even beyond this book`s projects.

In this Volume 2 Chuck takes the reader to the next level by introducing how to drive displays, how to use interrupts, how to use serial communication, how to use the internal hardware peripherals of the PIC16F690 Microcontroller such as SPI, PWM and Timers. He even introduces how to drive a stepper motor for those looking for electromechanical design help. He tackles these topics with his typical down to earth style of writing that makes the reader comfortable as they learn what some consider very difficult topics for the beginner. In addition he continues to use the very powerful HI-TECH C Compiler and the PICkit Starter Kit so the reader can recreate the project in the book.

In volume 3 of this popular series, author Chuck Hellebuyck takes another leap forward with the SimpleC library that makes programming in C even easier. Shows the reader how to create their own functions and expand the library so that creating microcontroller projects is much quicker than writing in plain C. This book is a reference for programmers who want to build working projects in less time and with less effort.

The SimpleC library makes the following operations as easy as one line of C code:

• Controlling Digital Outputs
• Reading Digital Inputs
• Monitoring Analog Voltages
• Driving LCD Modules
• Driving Digital PWM Signals
• Communicating via SPI and I2C
• Writing/Reading from External EEPROM
• Using External I/O Expanders
• And More!

This book uses the open source CHIPINO module (based on PIC16F886) as a platform for electronic projects.

The latest book by Chuck Hellebuyck is an entry level guide to the chipKIT™ Uno32 development board. Using a series of very simple example sketches (sketch is a software program in the Arduino world) this book demonstrates how to use digital inputs, digital outputs, analog inputs and analog outputs. These are the fundamental building blocks that every electronic project needs. With the examples in this book, you will be prepared to get your electronic project, gadget or product up and running quickly and easily.
