Programming 32-bit Microcontrollers in C: Exploring the PIC32

*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

*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 text’s 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.

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!
