Review: A microcontroller is a single-chip microprocessor system that contains data and program memory, serial and parallel I/O, timers, external and internal interrupts, all integrated into one chip. Using a high-level language to program microprocessors has the advantages of making the programs more readable and portable. The PIC family of microprocessors are amongst the most popular currently used; this book demonstrates how to program PIC microcontrollers using a BASIC language. It begins by introducing the architecture of the PIC family and describes PIC microprocessors in detail. The features of PIC BASIC, PIC BASIC PRO and LET BASIC compilers are described as well as PIC development environment and the use of program description language. Twenty-five light, sound and temperature projects that use the microprocessor circuits are discussed in detail.
