520			_aThis book is aimed primarily at second or third year undergraduate engineering or technology students. It will also be of interest to the practicing professional, and the informed hobbyist. Readers are expected to have an introductory knowledge of electronics, mathematics, and microprocessor or computer systems The main aim of the book is to take readers to a level whereby they are equipped to enter professional practice in the embedded world. For those already in professional practice, it increases their effectiveness, broadening and updating their range of skills. It achieves its aims by giving a clear understanding of the underlying knowledge and skills appropriate to today’s embedded systems, including the use of C, and by engaging with key current issues, including networked systems, reliability, operating in the real-time environment, and use of real-time operating systems (RTOS). The book is built around three example microcontrollers, the PIC 16F84, the 16F876, and the 18F452. It works through these in turn, using each to develop the complexity of the ideas introduced. To maintain breadth however it makes cross-reference to other devices, for example the Freescale (formerly Motorola) 68HC12. It uses the Microchip MPLAB Integrated Development Environment, the Microchip C-18 C compiler, and explores the capabilities of commercially available real time operating systems (e.g. Salvo or similar). The book is illustrated with several example projects, from the very simple (an electronic ping-pong game) to the more advanced (the Derbot Autonomous Guided Vehicle), all of which can be built by the reader. The book will be supported by the http://www.embedded-knowhow.co.uk web site. It is proposed that it is sold with a supporting CD, containing software and further build information for the projects used * Combines embedded systems theory with practice * Broad coverage of advanced topics * Full support for the instructor and student
