We start with the simplest of experiments to get a basic understanding of the PIC16F877 family. Then we look at PIC programming techniques, the 16 bit timer, efficient storage and display of text messages, design a simple frequency counter, use a keypad for numbers, letters and security codes, and examine the 10 bit A/D converter.
Two new chapters were added with the second edition introducing the PIC16F627 as a low cost PIC16F84. We use the PIC16F627 as a step up switching regulator, and to control the speed of a DC motor with maximum torque still available. Then we study how to use any PIC to switch 240 volt AC supplies using an optoisolated triac driving a high current triac.
The serial port edition published January 2004 adds one further chapter where we learn about the PICs USART. First we experiment with PIC to PIC serial communication, we expamd this idea to use our PC as the master, then we look into true RS-232 levels using a MAX202 to interface to our PIC.
This book has been replaced to a degree by Experimenting with PIC C but because Experimenting with the PIC16F877 is purely in assembler it is still a valuable reference to have in your book case.
