Program and build your own PICAXE microcontroller devices
PICAXE Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius is filled with fun and practical projects that build your experience and expertise in working in a multi-processing environment. The book simplifies the programming and makes the projects much easier to implement and debug by separating out the peripheral interfacing requirements. The projects in the book culminate in the construction and programming of “Octavius,” a sophisticated robotics prototyping platform that includes a master processor and as many as 8 or 9 peripheral I/O processors. You’ll be able to use Octavius to develop and debug additional projects of your own.
PICAXE Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius
- Provides a graded series of projects arranged in order of complexity, making it easy for beginners to get started and build skills
- Focuses on a limited number of processors (08M, 14M, 20X2 and 28X2) to minimize extraneous detail
- Provides a comprehensive approach, including clear explanations and directions, hands-on experience, thorough program listings, and relevant online resources
- Offers all programs in the book free for download
A wide range of PICAXE projects:
PICAXE Overview; Building Prototype Circuits; Simple Inputs; ADC Inputs; Using LCD Displays; IR Communication; Wireless Comms. Links; i2c Communication;. 7-segment LED Displays; A Data Collection System; PICAXE and Processing; Birthing Octavius; DC Motor Control; “Time-Slice” Schema
