C Programming for Microcontrollers Featuring ATMEL's AVR Butterfly and the free WinAVR Compiler, 9780976682202 (0976682206), Smiley Micros, 2005

Do you want a low cost way to learn C programming for microcontrollers? This book shows you how to use Atmel’s $19.99 AVR Butterfly board and the FREE WinAVR C compiler to make a very inexpensive system for using C to develop microcontroller projects.

Students will find the thorough coverage of C explained in the context of microcontrollers to be an invaluable learning aide. Professionals, even those who already know C, will find many useful tested software and hardware examples that will speed their development work.

In addition to an in-depth coverage of C, the book has projects for:

• Port I/O reading switches and blinking LEDs

• UART communication with a PC

• Using interrupts, timers, and counters

• Pulse Width Modulation for LED brightness and motor speed control

• Creating a Real Time Clock• Making music

• ADC: Analog to Digital Conversion

• DAC: Digital to Analog Conversion

• Voltage, light, and temperature measurement

• Making a slow Function Generator and Digital Oscilloscope

• LCD programming

• Writing a Finite State Machine

CD contains all the source code, the free WinAVR C compiler, AVRStudio, and lots of other useful things.

About the Author

The author (Electrical Engineer, Official Atmel AVR Consultant, and award winning writer) makes the sometimes-tedious job of learning C easier by often breaking the in-depth technical exposition with humor and anecdotes detailing his personal experience and misadventures.

service-oriented and talking with increasing sincerity in terms
of ‘customers’ of IT. Ten years ago that sort of thinking would
have been rare, but now it is commonplace.

It is safe to say that the vanguard of the new service ethos in IT
was the...

Multi-Objective Swarm Intelligent Systems: Theory & Experiences (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2009

Recently, a new class of heuristic techniques, the swarm intelligence has emerged. In this context, more recently, biologists and computer scientists in the field of “artificial life” have been turning to insects for ideas that can be used for heuristics. Many aspects of the collective activities of social insects,...

Functional Interfaces in Java: Fundamentals and Examples

Apress, 2019

Reduce development time by organizing your programs as chains of functional interfaces and see that the advantages of using functional interfaces include the flexibility and power of inlined functional chains and reuse of functional methods utilized throughout the Java API.
