PIC Programming
PIC Your Personal Introductory Course
by John Morton<br> ISBN 0 7506 5038 9<br> Purchased from [Amazon|http://www.amazon.com] @ £14.99
This is an introductory book for the beginner. It commences with fairly simple problems using the less complicated versions of the [Microchip|http://www.microchip.com] PICs. It progresses through to version of PIC having [EEProms] and A/D converters. I think that this is a good book to learn [assembler] programming for use with PICs. However I confess to not having read any other introductory book on the subject!
Unfortunately the book does not cover some of the instruction set of the [PIC18F452]. This could of course be supplemented by downloads from Microchip.
Embedded Design with the PIC18F452 Microcontroller
by John B. Peatman

As you can see above this is not a cheap book. However, as I progress with trying to understand [MIOS] I am finding that I refer to it more and more. As you can see from its title, it is written specifically for the [PIC18F452] that is the current [microprocessor] used in MIOS.
The main advantage of this book is that it covers in detail the following topics relating to the [PIC18F452] under the chapter headings:
- CPU Architecture
- Instruction Set
- LCD Displays
- Interrupts and Interrupt Timing
- Analog to Digital Conversion
- I/O Pin Considerations
- Serial Interfacing
This is not a beginners book! A beginner will need a gentler introduction such as the first boo
