Charles I'm in the process of learning about the PIC, so I thought I'd give 'Programming and Customising the PIC Microcontroller' a whirl. It's by some bloke, name of Predko. Verdict: perfect for someone (like me) with a modest knowledge of electronics and a burning desire to learn. As far as I can tell, it proceeds to a reasonably advanced level, so it shouldn't disappoint. As a bonus it's written clearly and with a light sprinkling of humour (who's that blushing at the back?)

Charles, I'll second the vote for Myke Predko's book. It goes from basics to fairly advanced and has good practical examples. Since I bought it I've only put 1 newbie question append to Piclist ;-) I borrowed the Nigel Gardener - Beginners Guide from my library. It's quite expensive and doesn't cover anywhere near the detail of Myke's book. I didn't find it too useful personally. Brian. Brian Jones Java Technology Centre IBM Hursley

The book is called Programming and Customizing the PIC Micorcontroller ISBN 0-07-913645-1 Bill -----Original Message----- From: S.V.S. inc <svs_kitsKILLspamEMAIL.MSN.COM> To: .....PICLISTKILLspam.....MITVMA.MIT.EDU <EraseMEPICLISTspam_OUTTakeThisOuTMITVMA.MIT.EDU> Date: Thursday, January 15, 1998 9:42 PM Subject: Re: Available books on Pics {Quote hidden}>Hi > I just subscribed to the list and missed the beginning of this thread. >What is the name of Myke Predko's book . .
