PIC Microcontroller Programming Handbook

Learn embedded systems from the ground up with PIC Microcontroller Programming Handbook, a complete and beginner-friendly guide designed to help you understand, program, and build real projects using PIC microcontrollers. This book is written with a clear teaching mindset, guiding you step by step from basic concepts to practical hardware control. Whether you are a student, hobbyist, or aspiring embedded engineer, this handbook helps you develop strong fundamentals without feeling overwhelmed. You will begin with a solid introduction to PIC microcontrollers, their architecture, memory organization, configuration bits, and clock systems. The book then builds a strong foundation in C programming specifically tailored for PIC devices, covering data types, variables, operators, control structures, functions, arrays, and strings with clear explanations and real embedded context. As you progress, you will learn how to control core peripherals such as digital I/O, ADC, PWM, timers, interrupts, comparators, and voltage references. Communication protocols including UART, I²C, and SPI are explained in a practical and easy-to-follow manner. The book also covers internal and external EEPROM, data logging techniques, and SD card interfacing using FATFS, preparing you for real-world embedded applications. This handbook focuses on clarity, structured learning, and practical understanding rather than memorization. Each topic is organized logically, making the book ideal for self-study, classroom use, and long-term reference.
