"Easy PIC'n" © is intended to ease the beginner toward understanding and application of the PIC line of microcontrollers from Microchip Technology, Inc. The book may be used in the application of microcontrollers. Examples of assembly language programs range from a simple one to turn on LED's to more complex ones for timing and for event-counting. Writing programs is covered in-depth and the use of flow charts, as an aid to visualizing what a program does, is emphasized. The approach is hands-on with many examples, all of which may be demonstrated using a very simple demo board (a project) in the beginning of the book by David Benson (8-1/2 x 11", 150 pages).
