PIC Microcontroller Programming Kit

Description

PIC Microcontroller Programming Kit
PIC-MICRO-X
This PIC kit includes everything you need to learn about PIC microcontroller programming, including, comprehensive HTML tutorials, a book on CD, MPLAB X development software including XC8 C compiler, hardware boards and a PICKit3 programmer and debugger.
It is based on one of the new PIC microcontrollers from Microchip, PIC16F1789, which is far better (and cheaper) than older PIC microcontrollers such as PIC16F877. It teaches you PIC microcontroller programming from the beginning and covers all you need to know to build your own projects and learn embedded C programming.
The browser based tutorials, linked to the book and many sample projects, teach you all you need to know about PIC microcontrollers and how to write programs in assembly language and C, using the MPLAB X professional integrated development environment (IDE). You will discover how the PIC microcontroller actually works, which is more work at the beginning but you understand how to be an effective embedded system programmer.
The PIC tutorial covers these topics
PIC Microcontroller layout and structure
Numbering systems and logic
Program planning
How to use MPLAB X IDE properly
PIC programming in assembly language
PIC programming in embedded C
How to download and debug a project
How to setup and use the PIC microcontroller peripherals
Discover how to interface UART, LCD, keypads, sensors and much more
Learn to to re-use code and library files to create a complex project
