Making PIC™ based Laboratory Instruments and Controllers

By Harprit Singh Sandhu 

“Making PIC™ based Laboratory Instruments and Controllers” is intended as a tutorial for beginning Engineering College students and Hobbyists interested in the more practical uses of microcontrollers. Using PICBASIC PRO Compiler examples written for the LAB-X1 Experimenter Board and PIC16F877A MCU, the book explains the fundamental concepts applicable to the design and fabrication of instruments and controllers that use microcontrollers as their logic engines. The book focuses on mastering the eight basic concepts that need to be understood to undertake the creation of instruments and controllers.

 316 pages, includes CDROM


melabs Serial LCD Module 20 character x 4 line

The melabs Serial LCD (SLCD) can display serial data from either asynchronous RS232-style or synchronous I2C input. A range of baud rates from 2400 to 57,600 are available and the serial data is buffered so that no delay is necessary when transmitting data to the SLCD.

The display includes an LED backlight with variable brightness. The serial LCD board is also available separately for use with other displays that utilize a Hitachi HD44780 or equivalent controller IC.


melabs Serial LCD Module 16 character x 2 line

Same set of features as our 20 x 4 model above, but in a smaller display with 2 lines of 16 characters each.

2-line display PCB (outside edge) measures 80mm wide and 36mm high.


Reynolds Electronics Serial LED Modules

Serial LED Modules from Reynolds Electronics provide a simple asynchronous serial interface to a high contrast, four-digit, seven-segment, super red LED display module - with 6 unique built-in animations.  The display can be driven with a single pin from your microcontroller.


Designing Embedded Systems with PIC Microcontrollers

by Tim Wilmshurst

This book is a hands-on introduction to the principles and practice of embedded system design using the PIC microcontroller. Packed with helpful examples and illustrations, it gives an in-depth treatment of microcontroller design, programming in both assembly language and C, and features advanced topics such as networking and real-time operating systems. It is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing copies of all programs and software tools used in the text and a ‘student’ version of the C complier.

556 pages, includes CDROM
