The experiments and text are designed to be completed with a low-cost development lab based on a single Microchip PICkit 1 starter kit, keeping the financial barrier to entry very low. The book aims to teach programming in both C and assembly language, and it guides the reader through interfacing sensors, switches, LEDs, and other common electronics.
The book is organized into eleven sections, each building logically upon the previous one:
BSF STATUS, RP0 ; Bank 1 MOVLW 0x00 MOVW TRISB ; Port B all outputs BCF STATUS, RP0 ; Bank 0 Loop BSF PORTB, 0 ; LED ON CALL Delay ; Wait BCF PORTB, 0 ; LED OFF CALL Delay GOTO Loop
