Beginner's Guide to Programming the PIC32

Thomas Kibalo, who has written many articles for Nuts & Volts magazine delivers the beginner's book many have been looking for: Beginner’s Guide to Programming the PIC32. Using the low cost Microchip Microstick II module with built in programmer and socketed PIC32MX250F128B Microcontroller and the free to download version of MPLAB XC32 Compiler, Kibalo takes you step by step through the fundamentals of programming the PIC32. His clear explanations of the inner workings make learning the PIC32 architecture easy. His code examples demonstrate how to perform the functions most applications require. The hardware is shown in simple breadboard setup so even a beginner can build along with very few extra components needed. The projects include: Driving LEDs Reading momentary switch Analog to Digital Conversion Driving an LCD display Timers and Timer Interrupts Optimizing Performance Serial RS232 communication SPI communication Pulse Width Modulation Controlling the PIC32 Real Time Clock and Calendar Peripheral Pin Select Running Arduino Style code on PIC32 Kibalo also shows you how to run the popular Arduino style code on a PIC32 platform. Using the Microstick II and his library of functions he described throughout the book, you’ll be running Arduino examples on the Microstick II in no time. This is the book you need if you want to understand how to get started with PIC32.

Thomas Kibalo，曾為《Nuts & Volts》雜誌撰寫多篇文章的作者，為大家帶來了一本初學者必備的書籍：《初學者指南：PIC32程式設計》。使用低成本的Microchip Microstick II模組，內建程式燒錄器和插座式PIC32MX250F128B微控制器，以及免費下載的MPLAB XC32編譯器版本，Kibalo逐步引導讀者了解PIC32程式設計的基礎知識。他清晰的解釋內部運作方式，使學習PIC32架構變得容易。他的程式碼範例演示了大多數應用所需的功能。硬體部分以簡單的麵包板設置展示，即使是初學者也能輕鬆搭建，只需很少的額外元件。專案包括：驅動LED、讀取瞬態開關、類比數位轉換、驅動LCD顯示器、計時器和計時器中斷、優化效能、串列RS232通訊、SPI通訊、脈寬調變、控制PIC32實時時鐘和日曆、外設引腳選擇、在PIC32上運行Arduino風格的程式碼。Kibalo還向讀者展示了如何在PIC32平台上運行受歡迎的Arduino風格程式碼。使用Microstick II和他在整本書中描述的函式庫，您將能夠在Microstick II上輕鬆運行Arduino範例。如果您想了解如何開始使用PIC32，這本書是您所需的。
