BOARDS

The story goes that I wanted to write a book about one of the greatest passions in my life: flying!... I wanted to write a book that would convince other engineers like me to take the challenge and live the dream - learn to fly and become private pilots. The thing is that I knew the few hours of actual flying experience I had did not qualify me as a credible expert on the art of flying. So when I had an opportunity to write a book about Microchip's new 16-bit PIC24 microcontrollers, I just could not resist the temptation to join the two things, programming and flying, in one project... This is an introductory book to modern embedded control design. It will introduce the reader to the use of C language in real time, resource constrained, embedded applications.
