uPIC book
	"uPIC, the beginners guide to PICmicro with more than 40 application ideas" provides valuable information for engineers and scientists who did not get a chance to study the RISC architecture of PICmicro in embedded control systems and are interested to learn the principles and applications of the same through self-study.The book contains detailed information on PICmicro 16C54 and their usage in control applications starting from its origin, architecture, block diagram, instruction set, program development, etc. Details of PICker kit with plug in modules and the applications of the PICmicro have been described with several illustrative design examples.
