Post by thread:PIC Book (it's GREAT!!)

Friends, I am currently reading he book "Design with PIC Microcontrollers" by John B. Pea tman. It's GREAT!! It has all sorts of helpful info. One of the best parts of th e book is a whole chapter dedicated to I2C Bus. He also has a website to update the book and give assorted info. Check it out http://www.ece.gatech.edu/users/peatman/ This book, from the looks of it was designed to be a college level textbook, it 's very precise on it's subjects. Thought you might want to know just in case an ybody was thinking of buying it!!

I agree, just got it from Amazon, really nice book. The focus is on 16C6x and 16C7x family, 28 pin and 40/44 pin parts. He says "after the functioning of these parts is understood, the opportunities afforded by the 18 pin parts can be easily deduced by referring to the appendix and comparing the block diagrams, pinouts, ... etc" Very presentable text book presentation, but not heavy reading. I like it.

what is the ISBN number of this book?

The book is published by Prentice Hall ( http://www.prenhall.com/allbooks/esm_0137592590.html ) ISBN 0-13-759259-0. I think it was originally written for a class (EE 4075 at Georgia Tech.) I owe most of my microcontroller programming knowledge to Dr. Peatman from that class. Its a good book. Shahid ---------- From: Timothy D.

Thought you might want to know just in case anybody was thinking of buying it!! It is (a college textbook). He uses it for junior level EE microprocessor courses. His previous book, "Designing with Microcontrollers" used the Motorola 6801 (I think, I know his classes used it). He was (and still is, I presume) a great professor!
