The simplest quickest way
to get up and running with microcontrollers. Makes the PIC accessible to
students and enthusiasts. Project work is at the heart of the book
- this is not a BASIC primer. PIC BASIC is the simplest and quickest
way to get up and running - designing and building circuits using a microcontroller.

Programming
and Customizing the 8051 Microcontroller - 1999 with CD-ROM by Myke Predko
Many people consider the
8051 to be the world's most popular embedded microcontroller architecture.
The device can be found in a wide variety of products from toys to jet
fighters.
Programming and Customizing
the 8051 is an excellent introduction to this popular chip. Starting with
an introduction to embedded microocontrollers (and the 8051 in particular),
I guide you through basic 8051 programming and hardware interfacing. More
than thirty experiments will shown you how code and hardware is created
with the 8051. A dozen example applications show advanced programming and
interfacing concepts including Real Time Operating Systems and serial device
connections.
Included with the book is
a CD-ROM containing chip datasheets, application source code, Gerber files
to enable you to create your own raw cards of the provided applications
and development tools to assemble, simulate and burn your applications.

The Tab
Electronics Handbook of Microcontrollers with CD-ROM by Myke Predko
My
goal with this book was to create a complete reference package for today's
eight bit embedded microcontrollers. As well as providing technical and
processor programming information on the:
Intel 8051
Motorola 68HC05
Microchip PICMicro
Atmel AVR
Parallax Basic Stamp
Announced Jul-98. 850 pages.
This is a massive piece
of work from our friend Myke Predko.
Myke also designed the OEM-SLI
LCD interface.
Dontronics and Simmstick
get a few mentions. There is a project using an AVR micro and Simmstick
which reads a Pot position and generates Video output, and Appendix E at
the rear of the book, covers Simmstick.

Myke is another Piclist regular. We sell his Serial LCD. Dontronics have

him a good personal friend. Worth it just for the disk of software that
comes with it.

Claus is linked to Dontronics 'Links' page. Plenty of Dontronics Simmsticks
on his Web pages. Claus and Klaus sent us a copy of this book for evaluation.
What Parallax didn't cover on the Basic Stamp One may be a better title.

Scott chose to do the Public
release of his PIC source Book/Disk on the Dontronics Home page.
Scott shouldn't need an

the Parallel Port : Interfacing the PC for Data Acquisition and Process
Control by Dhananjay V. Gadre
Paperback
martinc@cs.athabascau.ca
from Athabasca, Canada , 04/21/98, rating=10: What your PC must do to sieze
the world by the bits. This very up-to-date handbook reveals little-known
secrets of PC hardware and the software needed to control the outside world
with a PC. Suitable background in electronics is given for the book to
be used as a textbook, yet the approach is that of a helpful cookbook.
Going beyond the PC, the important topic of microcontrollers is addressed.
Best of all, important problems in data measurement using PCs can be addressed
with very inexpensive hardware easily built (a complete novice might need
a Radio Shack style guide to how to do soldering). Software is included
in source code form on disk, an added bonus. Reading this book won't get
you an EE degree but it might be the next best thing.

Basic Programmer's Guide To Serial Communications by Richard Grier
Paperback
Jan Axelson (jaxelson@lvr.com)
, 06/12/97, rating=9: A valuable guide from an accomplished programmer.
Richard Grier clearly has a wealth of experience in programming serial
communications, and in this book he shares his knowledge with readers.
Sections I found especially useful were the debugging tips, a discussion
of real-time Windows programming, and descriptions of bugs and anomolies
for every version of MsComm. There are dozens of quick tips in Q &
A format, and many insider tips and insights. It's an excellent resource.

Interfacing & Using the PC'S Parallel Printer Port by Jan Axelson
Paperback
chipm@netusa1.net from Kokomo,
IN , 03/15/98, rating=10: Very thorough and informative.....good job as
usual for Jan. I have read Jan's columns for years in various electronics
magazines and papers. She does not disappoint in this book. She presents
the subject of PC interfacing very thoroughly and with much detail. Her
use of Visual Basic was important so that the book would appeal and be
usable to the most widest audience possible. Not everyone is a C programmer
so I think the book would be useful to all. The book cleared up many concepts
for me. Very well written.
The Microcontroller
Idea Book : Circuits, Programs & Applications Featuring the 8052-Basic
Single-Chip Computer by Jan Axelson
Paperback
PC Magazine, 5/28/96 : The
real gold in the book is the collection of input/output circuits that show
you how to connect to the outside world and have it all work properly.
The writing is a model of clarity and conciseness. Once you know how these
things work, you can use them cookbook-style.

Peter H. Anderson
Spiral-bound
The author, Peter H. Anderson,
pha@access.digex.net , 04/01/97: Use of a PC Parallel Port for Control
and Data Acquisition This 124 page manual is primarily intended for use
by electrical engineering students who have completed introductory courses
in circuit theory, digital and C programming. Although it was originally
written for my students at Morgan State University, there has been a strong
demand from industry, students at other schools and from hobbyists.

and Data Acquisition by Peter H. Anderson
Spiral-bound
The author, Peter H. Anderson,
http://www.access.digex.net/~pha , 01/26/97: This is a sequel to The Parallel
Port Manual - Vol 1 and this new Volume assumes the reader is familiar
with the content of Volume 1. Both of these books were written to encourage
experimentation and tinkering using a PC's parallel port.
Design With Pic Microcontrollers by John B. Peatman
Hardcover
A reader from Santa Barbara,
CA , 01/10/98, rating=9: Concise, readable design guide suitable for beginners.
Unlike many of the current micro-controller texts currently available which
extoll the history of the technology and earlier (re. out of date information),
this text is refreshingly to the point. It focuses on current PIC controllers
(could use an addendum for newest additions) and current interface components
such as rotary encoders and LCD displays suitable for low cost design.

Microcontroller
Projects With Basic Stamps.
Paperback - 300 pages Bk&Cd
Rom edition (October 1999)
ISBN: 0879305878
This book is much better
than the regular Stamp manual. It starts out explaining how everything
works and then covers each of the commands by function which is a great
idea instead of alphabetizing them). After that the author shows you how
things work by bringing you through a series of projects. Unlike some books
most of these projects are simple enough to breadboard in 10 or 15 minutes.
There are a few projects that are more complicated at the end so you can
get some feel for how do do a real design too (like the morese code keyer
that has a pcb).

McGraw-Hill; ISBN: 0079136842
A book/CD-ROM tutorial on
the BASIC Stamp single-board computer, which runs a PIC Microcontroller
and doesn't require any assembly language programming. Offers a primer
on basic electronics, and coverage of both BASIC Stamp I and II, from understanding
BASIC programs to PBASIC toolboxes and applications. Includes 12 complete
projects demonstrating applications, and a reference guide. The accompanying
CD-ROM provides software tools for developing PIC applications.

1997)
Butterworth Heinemann; ISBN:
0750698918
Covers both the hardware
and software sides of the Parallax BASIC Stamp 1 and 2 microprocessor operation
and design. The BASIC Stamp is built on PIC microcontroller hardware and
uses PBASIC as its programming language, which makes it simple to use,
but versatile enough to solve professional problems. Once the hardware
operations and PBASIC instruction sets are established, applications suitable
for designers as well as home hobbyists are presented. These applications
can be used as is or can be modified.
