This C for PICmicro microcontrollers CD-ROM is designed for those who need to learn how to program embedded microcontrollers in C. The CD contains a full course as well as all the software tools needed to create hex code for a wide range of PICmicro devices -- including a full C compiler and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The course is structured into two parts. The first concentrates on the fundamentals of C programming in a series of on-screen tutorials that make use of a virtual microcontroller simulator which allows you to see the effects on the chip, internal variables and registers as each line of C code executes. The second section develops your skills further through a series of lab tests and exercises using the Integrated Development Environment and compiler provided. Once you have developed sufficient expertise in C programming, you can use the software tools supplied on the CD for a wide range of projects. Note: The compiler on this product is for educational use only. Those wanting to produce commercial products using the compiler will need to purchase a commercial license of the Boost C compiler included on the CD-ROM. This is separate from the tutorial licenses mentioned at the bottom of this page. PIC16 C Tutorial Features - A full course in C programming
