Microchip continually updates its product line with more capable and lower cost products. They also provide excellent development tools. Few books take advantage of all the work done by Microchip. 123 PIC Microcontroller Experiments for the Evil Genius uses the best parts, and does not become dependent on one tool type or version, to accommodate the widest audience possible.
Building on the success of 123 Robotics Experiments for the Evil Genius, as well as the unbelievable sales history of Programming and Customizing the PIC Microcontroller, this book will combine the format of the evil genius title with the following of the microcontroller audience for a sure-fire hit.
Synopsis:
123 PIC® MICROCONTROLLER EXPERIMENTS FOR THE EVIL GENIUS
123 STEPS FROM NEWBIE TO PIC PROGRAMMING GENIUS!
"Smart" house features and "smart" appliances, are just some of the multitude of inexpensive PIC micontroller projects created by PIC expert Myke Predko.
More than just hours of fun, these exciting experiments provide a solid grounding in PIC microcontrollers and the skills needed to program them — from the ground up. Each experiment builds on those before it, so you develop a hands-on, practical understanding of microcontroller programming. You don't need any knowledge of programming to get started. But by the end, you'll be able to complete your own awesome projects!
123 PIC Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius:
Introduces you to programming and customizing the PIC MCU step-by-step — you don't need to be a whiz to get started, but you will be when you are finished
Shows you how to set up your own PICmicro MCU (microcontroller) and development lab based on one inexpensive Microchip PICkit 1(R) starter kit
Vividly explains the science and electronics underlying microcontrollers
Gives you enjoyable step-by-step experiments that build your skills, one small increment at a time
Teaches you to program PICmicros in both C and assembly language
Shows you how to interface sensors, switches, LEDs, LCDs, and other commonly used electronic interfaces
Offers step-by-step experiments that develop handy resource routines in assembly language
Challenges you to stretch the limits of PIC MCU applications
Suggests exciting directions you can take your new programming skills
Supplies parts lists and program listings

for professor/myke predko
i read your book and i found your book sir so intrested and powerful in learning control i learned alot and this book get me wish to meet you and learn from you alot i found that you really have agift form god and you can do any thing by your knowledgment abilities ..let me say that you are ateacher learn us by simple ways.do you know you take the problem and by easy way give us the solution like doctor you are asurgent in electronics like doctors can absorb the desease from the human body thank you professor myke predko i learned alote from you and from now to up no one from my friends will turn his back to me because they are asuperior in control .do you know sir my father learn me avery good law it says " the one who learn me one alphapitic number i has become his slave" .please professor myke predke don't hesitate to chat with me to help me take me as student or your son i wish to be success like any one.like you prof .thanks for complete reading my comment .please don't forget me.
