The Laws of Electric Circuit (This is for beginners in circuit theory)- Unorthodox and Alternative Approach to explain The Laws of Electric Circuit.
Embedded Computing with PIC 16F877-Assembly Language Approach:A complete guided project book for PIC students - Topics covered, with full assembly source codes, are: Circuit Diagram with RS-232, Bootloader, Hex code download, LED light on/off, Piezo-electric buzzer application, LCD and series LCD connection, AT Keyboard connection, Voice synthesizer connection, DC motor control and Robot application, IR remote control (Sony and Sharp Protocols), Unipolar and Bipolar Stepper Motor control application, Motor control relays and ICs, PWM application, I²C bus connection and external serial EEPROM application, Internal EEPROM read/write application, Robot arm control application, Timer module and digital clock application, A/D conversion and data acquisition, Serial communication module and software-enabled serial communication, and so on. Again, complete source codes and subroutines for each every application and subject.

PIC START: Before your first coding practice, and before your long steps to the PIC programming, you have to check if you have everything you need. You don't want to stumble at the start line and you don't want to see your PIC engine fizzle out. This site guides you through detail explanation for (1)what minimum hardware you have to have for your PIC project, (2) how to select a proper 16F877 or 16F877A chip for the project, (3) where you get a bootloader, (4) where you find a PIC burner to burn your PIC16F877 or 16F877A bootloader, (5) where you download the PIC downloader (which downloads your own hex code to the bootloaded PIC chip), and (6)other important stuffs you have to check before ignite your PIC engineer. A must read for all beginners.
