The FIRST book on Microchip’s latest and greatest 32-bit architecture: the PIC32 written by a true Microchip insider!
Synopsis
Just months after the introduction of the new generation of 32-bit PIC microcontrollers, a Microchip insider and acclaimed author takes you by hand at the exploration of the PIC32. The free CD-ROM includes source code in C and the Microchip MPLAB C32 compiler. This work includes handy checklists to help readers perform the most common programming and debugging tasks. The new 32-bit microcontrollers bring the promise of more speed and more performance while offering an unprecedented level of compatibility with existing 8 and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers. In sixteen engaging chapters, using a parallel track to his previous title dedicated to 16-bit programming, the author puts all these claims to test while offering a gradual introduction to the development and debugging of embedded control applications in C. Author Lucio Di Jasio, a PIC and embedded control expert, offers unique insight into the new 32-bit architecture while developing a number of projects of growing complexity.Experienced PIC users and newcomers to the field alike will benefit from the texts many thorough examples which demonstrate how to nimbly side-step common obstacles, solve real-world design problems efficiently and optimize code using the new PIC32 features and peripheral set.
In this work you will learn about: basic timing and I/O operation; debugging methods with the MPLAB SIM; simulator and ICD tools; multitasking using the PIC32 interrupts; all the new hardware peripherals; how to control LCD displays; experimenting with the Explorer16 board; and, the PIC32 Starter Kit: accessing mass-storage media; generating audio and video signals and more!32-bit microcontrollers are becoming the technology of choice for high performance embedded control applications including portable media players, cell phones, and GPS receivers. In this work, learn to use the C programming language for advanced embedded control designs and/or learn to migrate your applications from previous 8 and 16-bit architectures. All code examples and software tools required to get acquainted with Microchips MPLAB development environment, and to complete all the projects described in this book, are offered in the attached CDROM including the MPLAB C32 C Compiler (free ‘Student Edition’) and the full source code for more than 15 entertaining projects.
