Uses the very powerful HI-TECH C Compiler and the PICkit Starter Kit so the reader can recreate the project in the book.
This 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.
