Synopsis
The PIC microcontroller is enormously popular both in the U.S. and abroad. The first edition of this book was a tremendous success because of that. However, in the 4 years that have passed since the book was first published, the electronics hobbyist market has become more sophisticated. Many users of the PIC are now comfortable shelling out the $250 for the price of the Professional version of the PIC Basic (the regular version sells for $100). This new edition is fully updated and revised to include detailed directions on using both versions of the microcontroller, with no-nonsense recommendations on which is better served in different situations.

BESTSELLER!
NO ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE REQUIRED! 6 BRAND NEW PROJECTS!
What can you do with PIC microcontrollers? Practically anything -- from creating "photovore" robots that hunt light to feed their solar cells to making toasters announce, "Your toast is ready!" These low-cost computers-in-a-chip let electronics designers and hobbyists add intelligence, responsiveness, and functions that mimic big computers to any electronic product or project, including robotics.
Fully updated for use with the PICBasic Pro as well as the original PICBasic, this new edition of the PIC Microcontroller Project Book gives you hands-on directions for putting Microchip's RISC-based chips to work. Starting with simple projects and experiments, this book leads you gradually into sophisticated programming techniques. You need absolutely no programming experience to get started. John Iovine coaches you through every single step. Written with the beginner in mind, PIC Microcontroller Project Book gives you A-B-C guidance on how to:
* Get the equipment you need (includes lists of suppliers)
* Program your chip, from plugging in the breadboard to running the compiler, with lines of code to copy
* Use CodeDesigner and the latest Windows software
* Make your chip count numerically
* Deliver messages on a liquid crystal display
* Synthesize human speech
* Control DC motors, stepper motors, and servos
* Convert any analog signal to digital
* Add sensing abilities to robots
* Build decision-making neural and "fuzzy logic" functions into your projects
THE EASY WAY TO MASTER MICROCONTROLLERS
This book will be the springboard for thousands of innovative workshop projects!

This is a good book for both beginners and intermediate readers alike. It guides you through the installation of the PICBasic software and your first project with detailed explanations and pictures. There are many useful projects in this book (such as a speech synthesizer, fuzzy logic, servo motor control, interfacing LCDs and a/d conversion), but you are not limited to those because once you have read it, you will be able to come up with your own unique uses for PICs.
The chapters are nicely laid out, the text is clear and generally concise without getting into too much technical jargon, and the diagrams are very helpful. My only gripe is with the coding style, specificly the lack of indentation, which doesn't affect the program but helps when you have to go back and debug something. However, overall it's a great book to help get you started in PICBasic programming.

I read this book and found it very useful. The explanations, from program installation to actual PIC programming, is given in detail. The PIC Basic language is powerful and makes it easy to program PIC microcontrollers. The author stays focused on the PIC 16F84. The book projects are good; analog to digital converters, serial communication, LCD displays, neural circuits, servo motor controls, etc. I was able to build these projects and get them up and running. This is no small feat for me.
I think the book is an excellant value and am looking forward to the author's next book.

I read the PIC microcontroller book by John Iovine and found it very useful. I must comment on the vindictive and false review by the anonymous reader from Chandler, AZ.
Anonymous' statement that the book is just a cataloge for Images Company is false. McGraw-Hill would not jeopardize its reputation by publishing a catalog and promote it as a project book. The author does reference Images Company as anonymous stated, but anonymous fails to mention that Jameco (James), JDR and Radio Shack are referenced as well.
Anonymous' statement "be prepared to pay 600% over..." is misleading. Penny parts (resistors, caps, crystals, etc.) do cost more. A capacitor may cost 14 cents instead of 2 cents, a difference of 12 cents. To use that 12 cents to make a sweeping statement that "just about everything" is 600% more is misleading and unjust. The reality is that all major components outlined in the book, the PICBasic Compiler ($99.95), Epic board ($59.95) and the PIC 16F84 (6.95) cost the same from all distributors, including Images Co.
Nowhere in anonymous' review is any reference to the book's content, which is quite good. Chandler AZ, in desperation to say something derogatory makes a comment on the page copunt. If Chandler AZ is so distressed with John Iovine's books, why does he keep buying them? This is suppose to be an open forum for reader reviews, not a personal vendetta against the author by someone cowardly hiding anonymously behind a facade of honest opinion. The only person left feeling cheated is anyone who puts any worth in Chandler, AZ misleading and flaccid review.

This is a good beginner's book on PIC 16F84 microcontrollers as long as you don't mind spending an additional $100 for a third party PIC BASIC code compiler. All of the book's lessons and programs are based on this BASIC compiler (no commonality to Microchip's MPLAB). There are some truly useful projects described such as serial communication, servo motor control and switch inputs, so if your goal is to get a design up and running quickly, this might be for you. It would be more accurately described as a user manual for the BASIC compiler rather than a PIC microcontroller reference. I was kinda bugged that this wasn't mentioned in the book's description.

This book is little more than a catalog for "Images Company", just like all of the other John Iovine books that I've read. Of course what the author fails to mention in each book, and even on the company's web site, is that _he is the owner of said company_. And yes, you can order just about everything you need from him, but be prepared to pay as much as 600% over what you would pay anywhere else (digikey, mouser, radio shack, etc). Once again, I'm left feeling cheated.
One more thing.....the book is only 195 pages long, not 272 pages.
