I'm a beginner to PIC programming. Two books I've seen are "Easy PIC'n" by David/Wanda Benson, Square One Electronics, and "A Beginners Guide to the Microchip PIC" by Nigel C. Gardner. Can anyone recommend these books?

Can anyone recommend these books? I can recommend the former. See the blurb on the PIC-FAQ page. http://digiserve.com/takdesign/pic-faq/faqindex.html -- Tom.

Use it in conjunction with the Microchip Data Books and Embedded Control Handbook. Unlike them, "Easy Pic'n" has a nice spiral binding that lies flat on the benchtop.

Hello does anyone happen to no of any good easy to read books about pic micro code and macro`s? I have got ALL the books that Farnell and Amazon have to offer ,but none have Macro examples Also what does RES mean? ie fgdud RES 1?? Thanks Tom

The example you give would reserve 1 word of memory (by advancing the assembler's program counter by 1). I don't know if I can help with books though -- the best (well, ONLY) book on macros that I have seen is Microchip's MPASM user's guide. Ken

>Thanks Ken >I take that can be found on there web? Not sure ... it comes with any development programmer (I got mine with a PICSTART PLUS). Maybe someone else on the list has more than one programmer (and thus more than one copy of the MPASM user's guide)? Cheers, Ken

see Myke Predco's article on the rentron site. http://www.rentron.com/pic.htm has a big article on macro's Other stuff by him is on his site http://www.myke.com Peter -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [spam_OUTPICLISTTakeThisOuTMITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of dvdmods Sent: Friday, January 14, 2000 9:06 PM To: .....PICLISTKILLspam@spam@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: books Hello does anyone happen to no of any good easy to read books about pic micro code and macro`s?
