. A Microchip insider tells all on the newest, most powerful PICs ever!

. FREE CD-ROM includes source code in C, the Microchip C30 compiler, and MPLAB SIM software

. Includes handy checklists to help readers perform the most common programming and debugging tasks

The new 16-bit PIC24 chip provides embedded programmers with more speed, more memory, and more peripherals than ever before, creating the potential for more powerful cutting-edge PIC designs. This book teaches readers everything they need to know about these chips : how to program them, how to test them, and how to debug them, in order to take full advantage of the capabilities of the new PIC24 microcontroller architecture.

Author Lucio Di Jasio, a PIC expert at Microchip, offers unique insight into this revolutionary technology, guiding the reader step-by-step from 16-bit architecture basics, through even the most sophisticated programming scenarios. This book’s common-sense, practical, hands-on approach begins simply and builds up to more challenging exercises, using proven C programming techniques. Experienced PIC users and newcomers to the field alike will benefit from the text’s many thorough examples, which demonstrate how to nimbly side-step common obstacles, solve real-world design problems efficiently, and optimize code for all the new PIC24 features.

You will learn about :
. basic timing and I/O operations,
. multitasking using the PIC24 interrupts,
. all the new hardware peripherals
. how to control LCD displays,
. generating audio and video signals,
. accessing mass-storage media,
. how to share files on a mass-storage device with a PC,
. experimenting with the Explorer 16 demo board, debugging methods with MPLAB-SIM and ICD2 tools, and more!

   I found this book very readable, but maybe not the best choice for beginners. The author, who writes in a pleasant conversational style, assumes you know a bit of ‘C’, a bit of assembly, and are basically familiar with the PIC processors. I was very pleased with his starting point. If you are like me, you want to make the jump to a controller that has enough oomph that it can be programmed in ‘C’, rather than just assembly like the 8-bit controllers we are used to.

   Life is soooo much easier in ‘C’, for example you are shown how you can use printf() to print formatted numbers to the LCD and other devices. No more converting from binary to decimal and then to ASCII — what a pain that was! Not any more. Floating point math? Easy as pie. Print to 2 decimal places…no problem-o!

   The most interesting exercise for me was constructing a video signal using only two digital outputs and three resistors. I’ve always wondered how that was done. Wonder no more.

   Although I am sure I will refer to this book from time to time in the future, in my opinion it is not a reference book. You will still need to download your data sheets and such. For me, it was more like an adventure book, or maybe that class you took long ago where you painlessly learned more than you thought you would.

   Excellent book for beginners and hobbysts! Very very good examples from scratch and with clear explanations on what the code does.

   Fast shipping and all arrived in very good condition.

   Thanks

   This book is pretty good, but lacks the hardware explanations and schematics. It relies heavily on Microchip Explorer 16, but doesn’t go into creating your own designs.

   As the review title suggests, this book is an excellent Pic 24 primer easy to follow for students and industry engineers alike. Clearly illistrated and generally well thought out.

   However, this book excludes any material on bootloaders, serial or usb which I believe is an important aspect of a high end microcontroller in the field.

   This is the best book about PIC that you can buy. Its written in a easy to read English (English may be a problem for foreigns like me) and the book has a lot of examples of Microchip C compiler.
