Thomas Kibalo, a Microchip Certified Developer and Academic Partner, who has written many 16 bit articles for Nuts and Volts magazine, delivers the beginner’s book that many have been looking for: Beginner’s Guide for Programming the PIC24/dsPIC33. Using the low cost Microchip Microstick module with PIC24HJ128GP502 and the free to download lite version of the MPLAB C Compiler, Kibalo takes you step by stepthrough the fundamentals of programming the PIC24H which can be equallyapplied to the dsPIC33. His clear explanation of the inner workings, make learning the PIC24H/dsPIC33 16 bit architecture easy. His code examples demostrates how to perform the functions most applications require. The hardware is shown in simple breadboard so even a beginner can build along with very few extra components needed.
