PIC Microcontroller Project Book
by John Iovine
The PIC microcontroller is
enormously popular both
in the US and abroad. The
first edition of this book
was a tremendous success
because of that. However,
in the four 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. $29.95

for "Zeppo," a super-smart, single-board-powered robot that can be built by any
