PIC chips are:
For those searching for the , the appeal is clear: they want to bypass the fluff and get straight to the "doing." They want to build motion detectors, digital clocks, and sound synthesizers. They want the satisfaction of seeing code translate into physical action. 123 PIC Microcontroller Experiments for the Evil Genius.pdf
It assumes you have a soldering iron, a curious mind, and a slight disregard for perfection. The 123 experiments are designed to be built on a solderless breadboard. You are encouraged to "miswire" components to see what happens (safely, of course). The "genius" part comes from the failure analysis. When the circuit doesn't work, you aren't just debugging code; you are debugging physics. PIC chips are: For those searching for the
