Embedded control designers have been constantly asking for more performance, more memory and more power to complete ever more advanced applications. Microchip latest and greatest 32-bit architecture, the PIC32, has been designed specifically to fulfill those demands offering an unprecedented level of performance by merging seamlessly the industry acclaimed MIPS 32-bit core with the trusted peripheral and feature set, common to all previous generations of PIC microcontrollers, that has made Microchip a world leader in embedded control. The result is an immediate sensation of familiarity and ease of use for all previous PIC microcontroller users and a refreshing sensation of power and friendliness for all those approaching the 32-bit world for the first time.-Lucio Di Jasio, a long time Microchip insider, after the successful book on the 16-bit PIC24 architecture published in early 2007, has now taken on the new challenge of exploring the PIC32 architecture to verify the claims of compatibility, ease of use and performance. Follow him through 15 extraordinary and fun projects (including audio and video) while learning to program in C language for 32-bit embedded control applications. Day 1 And the adventure begins Day 2 Walking in circles Day 3 Message in a Bottle Day 4 NUMB3RS Day 5 Interrupts Day 6 Memory Part 2 Experimenting Day 7 Running Day 8 Communication Day 9 Links Day 10 Glass = Bliss Day 11 Its an analog world Part 3 Expansion Day 12 Capturing User Inputs Day 13 UTube Day 14 Mass Storage Day 15 File I/O Day 16 Musica Maestro! 32-bit microcontrollers are becoming the technology of choice for high performance embedded control applications including portable media players, cell phones, and GPS receivers.-Learn to use the C programming language for advanced embedded control designs and/or learn to migrate your applications from previous 8 and 16-bit architectures. All code examples and software tools required to get acquainted with Microchips MPLAB development environment, and to complete all the projects described in the book, are offered in the attached CDROM including the MPLAB C32 C Compiler (free Student Edition) and the full source code for more than 15 entertaining projects.
