Description
If you want to take advantage of the popular PIC Microcontroller for your electronics projects, but are intimidated by the programming involved, your worries are over. This guide gives you a complete tutorial on the easy-to-use BASIC Stamp single-board computer, which runs a PIC Microcontroller, and doesnOt require you to do any assembly language programming. Written by the author of the widely-read "Stamp Applications" column for Nuts & Volts magazine, Programming and Customizing the BASIC Stamp Computer offers you a primer on basic electronics ... thorough yet accessible coverage of both BASIC Stamp I and II (from BASIC programs, to PBASIC toolboxes, to complete applications) ... a dozen projects that demonstrate various BASIC Stamp applications ... and an accompanying disk that provides all the software tools you need to begin developing PIC applications on your own.
