Practical Electronics (Volume III): Embedded Systems with PIC18 Microcontrollers

Laboratory experiments are an essential component of science and engineering education. The purpose of this book is to provide organized experiments and better enable the learners to know the laboratory aspects of Electronics. This book comprises fifty-five laboratory experiments for the PIC18 Microcontrollers. This book is designed to help learners to understand the principles of theoretical concepts and give them insight into the design and implementation of software and hardware for the embedded systems. It provides an exhaustive and clear explanation of PIC18 assembly language programming using MPLAB® XC8 PIC® Assembler (pic-as) and Embedded C programming. Each experiment is set up as a complete module that includes the aim, algorithm, program, circuit diagram, and result. The result section has the sample inputs and outputs in the experiment that helps to verify the experiment easily. The primary audience for this book is undergraduate and postgraduate science and engineering students. Some of the advanced technologies presented in this book are currently used in many sectors like Communication Electronics, Consumer Electronics, Automotive Electronics, Industrial Controls, Medical Electronics and other relevant fields.
This book helps to
• Promote experiential learning among the students.
• Give practical or informal knowledge to understand how things work.
• Know the relation between software and hardware in a system.
