Résumé : You can use it as projects book and build more thon 50 projects for your own use. The clear explanations, schematics, and pictures of each project on a breadboard make this a fun activity. You can also use it as a study guide. The technical background information in each project explains why the project is set up the way it is, including the use of datasheets This way you'll learn a lot about the project and the microcontroller being used, and you can expand the project to suit your own needs...making it ideal for use in schools and colleges. This book can also be used as a reference guide. The explanation of the JAL programming language and ail of the expansion libraries used is unique and found nowhere else. Using the index, you can easily locate projects that serve as examples for the main commands. But even after you've built all the projects it will still be a valuable reference guide to keep next to your PC. Four microcontrollers are discussed, the 12f675, 16f628, 16f876A, and 16f877, as well as how to migrate programs from one microcontroller to another. All software used in this book can be downloaded for free, including all of the source code, a program editor, and the JAL open source programming language. This powerful and yet easy to learn language is used by hobbyists and professionals worldwide. A hardware kit is also available for purchase separately that contains all the parts to get you started, including a few microcontrollers. There is even a free support website with additional information, FAQ, and links.

The mouse is one of the best proven, widely used and inexpensive man-machine interfaces ever devised, yet its presence in the world of embedded systems is still a rarity. Indeed, there are few embedded engineers today having practical experience of how to implement the hardware and software required to 'enable' mouse input. In Mouse Interfacing with USB and PS/2, the concepts needed are thoroughly explained. The practical development which stems from this knowledge is soon explored, with the feedback from each step providing impetus for the next. This book describes in-depth how to connect the mouse into new embedded applications. It details the two main interface methods, PS/2 and USB, and offers applications guidance with hardware and software examples plus tips on interfacing the mouse to typical microcontrollers. A wide range of topics is explored, including: Ballistic profiles for fast-yet-precise response ; A four-channel, millivolt-precision voltage reference ; USB descriptors; A variety of examples all with fully documented source-code. If you need to interface an embedded system to a mouse (PS/2 or USB), then this book will prove an invaluble tool. A wealth of clear illustrations enhance this highly readable text.

Résumé : This book is about a state of the art tool, Flowcode, and how you can use Flowcode to develop microcontroller applications. The book starts very simply with a tutorial project and step-by-step instructions. As you go along the projects increase in difficulty and the new concepts are explained. Each project has a clear description of both hardware and software with pictures and diagrams, which explain not just how things are done but also why. Ail sources are available for free download. Since Flowcode is a high level language the intricacies of microcontroller programming are hidden from view. For that reason it doesn't make much difference whether the program is meant for a PIC, AVR or ARM microcontroller. On a high level the programs for these microcontrollers, although vastly different in internal structure, are identical. For that reason this book is on microcontroller application design in general, not just for one type of microcontroller. If you don't own the microcontroller described in a project you can usually convert it to another microcontroller quite easily. E-blocks will be used as hardware for the projects in this book. This way the hardware can be put together quickly and reliably. Fully tested units simply connect together using connectors or short flat ribbon tables to form completed projects. This book covers 45 exciting and fun projects for beginners and experts such as:
