BASIC Stamp: Introduction to Microcontrollers

An introduction to PIC microcontroller theory, using the Parallax BASIC Stamp I and II. The BASIC Stamp microcontroller is based on Microchip's PIC hardware with some modifications, and is very approachable for beginners. The authors cover both the hardware and software ends of the chip's operation. Once the basic theory is established, the majority of the text walks the reader through applications suitable for designers as well as for the home hobbyist. These applications may be used as they are, or as a basis for further modifications to suit your needs.
