Books
Using the FreeRTOS Real-Time Kernel, PIC32
Edition (BK0007)
This is a concise, hands-on guide that
describes both general multitasking concepts
and FreeRTOS specifics. It presents and
explains numerous examples that are written
using the FreeRTOS API. The PIC32 edition
includes sixteen examples written specifically
for the PIC32 MCU using the free MPLAB XC Compiler.
Beginner's Guide to Programming the PIC24/dsPIC33
(BK0012)
Learn to program 16-bit MCUs with a
beginner's guide by Thomas Kibalo. In
this book he presents a clear step-by-step
introduction to programming PIC24H MCUs
and dsPIC33 DSCs. Code examples utilize the
Microstick II Development Board and the free
MPLAB XC Compiler. Hardware examples use a simple
breadboard setup so a beginners can build along with very
few extra components needed.
Beginner's Guide to Programming the PIC32 (BK0015)
Learn to program the PIC32 MCU with a
beginner's guide by Thomas Kibalo. Using
the low-cost Microstick II Development Board
and the free MPLAB XC32 Compiler, Kibalo
makes learning the PIC32 MCU architecture
easy. Code examples demonstrate common
operations that many applications require. Hardware is
shown in simple breadboard setup so beginners can build
along with very few extra components needed.
