Programming Arduino Projects with the PIC Microcontroller

If you have already put together a few Arduino boards and borrowed pre-written sketches, the logical next step is embedded programming. This book helps you get there by showing you how your code actually works. It revisits several Arduino projects and adds two more written for a PIC microcontroller.

Each project comes with a simple circuit diagram and photographs of the finished program running. The book covers the 8-bit PIC microcontroller in depth, walks through the code line by line, and then shows how to move Arduino projects onto the PIC using C. Along the way, it explains how C instructions work and how they apply to the PIC.

The book is aimed at people who want to learn embedded programming, Arduino hobbyists, and PIC programmers who want to combine the two skill sets. It can also serve as a reference.
