Now that you’ve built a few Arduino projects, and reused some pre-written sketches, it’s time to move on to the next step and explore the world of embedded programming. To truly up-skill, you'll need to understand how your code works, and that's where this book comes in. You'll review and work with several Arduino projects plus two extra ones written for a PIC microcontroller. Each one is accompanied with a basic circuit diagram and photos of the program working. Ideal for the Arduino hobbyist and PIC programmers who want to merge their skills, this comprehensive book will go over every aspect of the 8-bit microcontroller, provide line-by-line analysis of the code, and in the end, show you how to bring your Arduino projects to the PIC microcontroller using C. You'll gain a full understanding of how the C instructions work and can be used with the PIC microcontroller. Programming Arduino Projects with the PIC Microcontroller is your one-stop reference resource.

What You’ll Learn:

- Examine how the code works
- Create code to perform any function
- Build practical projects on vero boards with full vero plans and circuit diagrams
- Understand how programs work by simulation with an ECAD package

Who This Book Is For:
Would-be embedded programmers, Arduino hobbyists, and PIC programmers.

The Prerequisites:
There are none really, but if you understand ‘C’ programming it would be useful. However, I will explain how each of the programs work as we go through them. Also, if you understand the binary and hexadecimal number systems, it would be an advantage, but there is a section in the appendix that will help you with that and I will explain the important aspects as we need them. However, to get the full use out of this book, you will need to have installed the following software:
• MPLABX, which is the IDE from Microchip. The version in the book is MPLABX version 5.25. However, any version later than 2.20 will be OK.
• A ‘C’ compiler for the eight-bit micro. I use XC8 (V2.10), but with some programs I use XC8 (V1.35) compiler software. However, you should be aware that some of the later compilers have some useful libraries missing. That is why I sometimes use version 1.35.
All these programs are freely available from the Microchip website.
