Programming and Customizing the 8051 Microcontroller
- 1999 with CD-ROM by Myke Predko
Many people consider the 8051 to be the world's most popular embedded
microcontroller architecture. The device can be found in a wide variety
of products from toys to jet fighters.
"Programming and Customizing the 8051" is an excellent introduction
to this popular chip. Starting with an introduction to embedded microocontrollers
(and the 8051 in particular), I guide you through basic 8051 programming
and hardware interfacing. More than thirty experiments will shown you how
code and hardware is created with the 8051. A dozen example applications
show advanced programming and interfacing concepts including Real Time
Operating Systems and serial device connections.
Included with the book is a CD-ROM containing chip datasheets, application
source code, "Gerber" files to enable you to create your own raw cards
of the provided applications and development tools to assemble, simulate
and burn your applications.

The Tab Electronics "Handbook of Microcontrollers"
with CD-ROM by Myke Predko
My
goal with this book was to create a complete reference package for today's
eight bit embedded microcontrollers. As well as providing technical and
processor programming information on the:
-
Intel 8051
-
Motorola 68HC05
-
Microchip PICMicro
-
Atmel AVR
-
Parallax Basic Stamp
Announced Jul-98. 850 pages.
This is a massive piece of work from our friend Myke
Predko.
Myke also designed the OEM-SLI LCD interface.
DonTronics and Simmstick get a few mentions. There is a project using
an AVR micro and Simmstick which reads a Pot position and generates Video
output, and Appendix E at the rear of the book, covers Simmstick.

Hardcover

Myke is another Piclist regular. We sell his Serial LCD. Dontronics have
been involved with a lot of the beta testing of Myke's products and consider
him a good personal friend. Worth it just for the disk of software that
comes with it.
Basic
Stamp by Claus Kuhnel and Klaus Zahnert. Paperback
Claus is linked to Dontronics 'Links' page. Plenty of Dontronics Simmsticks
on his Web pages. Claus and Klaus sent us a copy of this book for evaluation.
"What Parallax didn't cover on the Basic Stamp One" may be a better title.
Programming
and Customizing the Basic Stamp Computer by Scott Edwards.
Hardcover

Scott chose to do the Public release of his PIC source Book/Disk on
the Dontronics Home page.
Scott shouldn't need an introduction to Stamp or PIC users.
His Applications and Projects in US magazines are frequent and very
well written.

the Parallel Port : Interfacing the PC for Data Acquisition and Process
Control by Dhananjay V. Gadre
Paperback
martinc@cs.athabascau.ca from Athabasca, Canada , 04/21/98, rating=10:
What your PC must do to sieze the world by the bits. This very up-to-date
handbook reveals little-known secrets of PC hardware and the software needed
to control the outside world with a PC. Suitable background in electronics
is given for the book to be used as a textbook, yet the approach is that
of a helpful cookbook. Going beyond the PC, the important topic of microcontrollers
is addressed. Best of all, important problems in data measurement using
PCs can be addressed with very inexpensive hardware easily built (a complete
novice might need a Radio Shack style guide to how to do soldering). Software
is included in source code form on disk, an added bonus. Reading this book
won't get you an EE degree but it might be the next best thing.

Basic Programmer's Guide To Serial Communications by Richard Grier
Paperback
Jan Axelson (jaxelson@lvr.com) , 06/12/97, rating=9: A valuable guide
from an accomplished programmer. Richard Grier clearly has a wealth of
experience in programming serial communications, and in this book he shares
his knowledge with readers. Sections I found especially useful were the
debugging tips, a discussion of real-time Windows programming, and descriptions
of bugs and anomolies for every version of MsComm. There are dozens of
quick tips in Q & A format, and many insider tips and insights. It's
an excellent resource.
C Programmer's
Guide to Serial Communications by Joe Campbell
Paperback
Sams Pub. : Comprehensive coverage of serial communications for all
intermediate and advanced C programmers. This new edition provides a new
perspective on incorporating serial communications with C. "Includes new
information about Windows and DOS serial communications. Discusses the
basics of serial communications, ASCII, and RS-232 technology. Filled with
inside information to bring developers up-to-date on the latest developments
in serial communications. Covers All Major C Compilers.

Interfacing & Using the PC'S Parallel Printer Port by Jan Axelson
Paperback
chipm@netusa1.net from Kokomo, IN , 03/15/98, rating=10: Very thorough
and informative.....good job as usual for Jan. I have read Jan's columns
for years in various electronics magazines and papers. She does not disappoint
in this book. She presents the subject of PC interfacing very thoroughly
and with much detail. Her use of Visual Basic was important so that the
book would appeal and be usable to the most widest audience possible. Not
everyone is a C programmer so I think the book would be useful to all.
The book cleared up many concepts for me. Very well written.
The
Microcontroller Idea Book : Circuits, Programs & Applications Featuring
the 8052-Basic Single-Chip Computer by Jan Axelson
Paperback
PC Magazine, 5/28/96 : The real gold in the book is the collection
of input/output circuits that show you how to connect to the outside world
and have it all work properly. The writing is a model of clarity and conciseness.
Once you know how these things work, you can use them cookbook-style.
The Parallel Port Manual - Vol 1, Use of a PC Parallel Port for
Data Acquisition and Control by Peter H. Anderson
Spiral-bound
The author, Peter H. Anderson, pha@access.digex.net , 04/01/97: Use
of a PC Parallel Port for Control and Data Acquisition This 124 page manual
is primarily intended for use by electrical engineering students who have
completed introductory courses in circuit theory, digital and C programming.
Although it was originally written for my students at Morgan State University,
there has been a strong demand from industry, students at other schools
and from hobbyists.
The Parallel Port Manual Vol. 2: Use of a PC Printer Port for Control
and Data Acquisition by Peter H. Anderson
Spiral-bound
The author, Peter H. Anderson, http://www.access.digex.net/~pha , 01/26/97:
This is a sequel to "The Parallel Port Manual - Vol 1" and this new Volume
assumes the reader is familiar with the content of Volume 1. Both of these
books were written to encourage experimentation and tinkering using a PC's
parallel port.
Design With Pic Microcontrollers by John B. Peatman
Hardcover
A reader from Santa Barbara, CA , 01/10/98, rating=9: Concise, readable
design guide suitable for beginners. Unlike many of the current micro-controller
texts currently available which extoll the history of the technology and
earlier (re. out of date information), this text is refreshingly to the
point. It focuses on current PIC controllers (could use an addendum for
newest additions) and current interface components such as rotary encoders
and LCD displays suitable for low cost design.

Here is a collection of Microcontroller Books
published during the years from 1995 up to the current date, however
we have left some earlier books on this list because of special interest
and the lack of coverage on these subjects in recent years.
And a collection of PC, MacIntosh, and other
Computer Specific Books published during the years from 1995 up to
the current date, again some older books are still listed for interest.
