PIC Microcontroller Project Book

Beginner's guide to the popular PIC Microcontroller.
Get all the advantages of the Basic Stamp, at one quarterthe cost and one hundred times the speed with Microchips Company's 8-bit PIC computer-on-a-chip. 
The no assembly required PIC Microcontroller Project Book, by popular TAB author John Iovine, shows you how to program the PIC using Microchip's free MPLAB compiler and the BASIC programming language. 
Learn about the two most popular PIC chips, exploring architecture, registers, CPU, RISC, RAM, and ROM. 
This project-oriented guide gives you twelve complete projects, including: using transistors to control DC and ACmotors and AC appliances...servo motors...liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) output...reading resistive sensors with robotics applications...frequency generator, including tone generations, DTMF phone number logger and distinct ring detector and router...home automation using X-10 communications...digital oscilloscope...simulations of fuzzy logic and neural networks...and many other applications. -- Book Review Poptronics, October, 2000 
Bound to spur the imagination and inspire plans for using PICs in new products and projects, this book answers the question: What can you do with PIC microcontrollers? Practically anything - from creating "photovore" robots that hunt light for their solar cells to making toasters announce "Your toast is ready!" 
These easy-to-use, low-cost, computers-in-a-chip let designers and hobbyists add intelligence and responsiveness to any electronic product or project - even faster than comparable Basic Stamps. Hands-on directions are supplied for putting Microchip's RISC-based chips - with up to 8k of memory - to work. 
Starting with simple projects and experiments, this book progresses gradually into sophisticated programming techniques. The author John Iovine, our "Amazing Science" columnist, guides enthusiasts into such projects as synthesizing human speech, controlling DC and stepper motors, adding sensing abilities to robots, and building in decision-making neural and "fuzzy logic" functions.

 This completely updated version of the best-selling PiC Microcontroller Project Book boasts updated software, many new projects, and comprehensive coverage of the new PIC Basic Pro version of the controller 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.

Using simple processes and inexpensive equipment, Holography for Photographers illustrates the techniques that allow photographers¦novice or experienced¦to explore and experiment with new areas of photography. Whereas many other methods of holography are complicated and require expensive equipment and a background in mathematics and optics, John Iovine provides readers with a portable, simplified system that requires a minimum of expense (around $200) and very little math, yet produces a variety of quality holograms. The construction of all projects is kept simple and well-detailed, showing how to create and produce basic and increasingly complex high quality holograms. Containing over 120 illustrations and photographs, Holography for Photographers details a simple tabletop style of producing holograms that utilizes a magnetic mounting system rather than a sand table. The equipment is simple and portable making this method ideal for schools, hobbyists, and amateurs, as well as experienced photographers. It allows photographers to experiment with white light reflection, transmission, split-beam, stereographic, and color holograms. In addition, Holography for Photographers provides insight into post processing set-ups for copying and creating reflection holograms from transmission holograms. Emphasis is placed on creating white light reflection holograms that are viewable with standard lighting. Holography for Photographers is a detailed how-to book teaching exciting techniques for creating holograms and would be a valuable addition to any photographer's library. John Iovine is a freelance writer and photographer who possesses a wealth of experience in all aspects of photography, electronics, and holography. He has written a number of books including Guide to Kirilian Photography, Homemade Holograms, Electronic Projects for Your Commodore 64, and Fantastic Electronics. He has also published articles in Camera and Darkroom, Astronomy, and several electronics hobbyist magazines. Simple table-top holography for amateurs to professionals Minimum investment; Maximum results Detailed how-to book teaches exciting techniques for creating photographs

Prompt (DPI - 8/01)

A guide to the nuts-and-bolts of neural networks. John Iovine explains the differences between traditional rule-based (symbolic) computer processors and the mind-boggling possibilities of neural networks (artificial intelligence). Following an introductory explanation of the science and history of development, he delves deeper into the subject, covering subjects such as: biological and mathematical neurons; artificial neuron software project; and training a neural network and speech recognition circuit.
