Designing Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers – 1st Edition

About the Author

From childhood Tim Wilmshurst was fascinated with how things worked, and spent many hours taking stuff to pieces – hoping to put it back together again, or devising new gadgets from the bits and pieces.

After wisely abandoning the idea of a career in professional music, Tim was drawn first into electronic design,and then into education. He has had two spells working in the Engineering Department of the University of Cambridge, one in Botswana Polytechnic, and is currently Head of Electronics at the University of Derby. At Cambridge he had the privilege of contributing to much ground-breaking research through his designs, focussing mainly on control and instrumentation. This included work in the fields of aerospace, geotechnical, medical and motor vehicle. He also claims to have introduced the first microprocessor into the British Houses of Parliament, and the first microcontroller into the Kalahari Desert!

Tim believes in learning by doing, and aims to share his fascination with how things work, and how to devise new or different things. He has developed the Derbot project, which encourages students to develop inventive autonomous vehicles, based on a given core design. Tim’s books encapsulate his teaching and design work; all are supported on his web site, at www.embedded-knowhow.co.uk.

Tim still plays the violin (Derby Concert Orchestra!); he enjoys family life, and reasonably long-distance hiking and cycling – in 2012 completing the delightful John O’Groats to Lands End run in the UK.

About the Author

Tim Wilmshurst

Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers: Principles and Applications is a hands-on introduction to the principles and practice of embedded system design using the PIC microcontroller. Packed with helpful examples and illustrations, the book provides an in-depth treatment of microcontroller design as well as programming in both assembly language and C, along with advanced topics such as techniques of connectivity and networking and real-time operating systems. In this one book students get all they need to know to be highly proficient at embedded systems design.

This text combines embedded systems principles with applications, using the16F84A, 16F873A and the 18F242 PIC microcontrollers. Students learn how to apply the principles using a multitude of sample designs and design ideas, including a robot in the form of an autonomous guide vehicle. Coverage between software and hardware is fully balanced, with full presentation given to microcontroller design and software programming, using both assembler and C. The book is accompanied by a companion website containing copies of all programs and software tools used in the text and a ‘student’ version of the C compiler.

This textbook will be ideal for introductory courses and lab-based courses on embedded systems, microprocessors using the PIC microcontroller, as well as more advanced courses which use the 18F series and teach C programming in an embedded environment. Engineers in industry and informed hobbyists will also find this book a valuable resource when designing and implementing both simple and sophisticated embedded systems using the PIC microcontroller
