5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible, January 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Microcontroller Application Cookbook (Microcontroller Application Cookbooks) (Paperback)

Of the several books I purchased to learn how to use the Basic Stamp 2 computer, this is the book I keep returning to again and again as a reliable reference. The circuits and program code samples can be directly applied to your projects. The examples are based on integrated circuits and components that are up to date and are, therefore, easy to find and buy.

My only criticism is the title, which really should have contained the term, "Basic Stamp," because that's what the book is about. Some of the circuits might be readily adapted to the PIC or Atmel or other microcontrollers, but this is a essentially Basic Stamp 2 cookbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very convenient., December 3, 2000

Nicolas Fournel (Vallejo, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Microcontroller Application Cookbook (Microcontroller Application Cookbooks) (Paperback)

The book is based on the Basic Stamp 2 microcontroller but you can easily adapt the recipes to others. It is really a cookbook: you don't need to read it from A to Z to do something. If you are in the middle of a project and just want to connect a photocell to your microcontroller, no problem, just go to the photocell page and follow the instructions. You will find the schematics, its explanation, and a very simple source code. Most of the time, it's pretty easy due to the Basic Stamp architecture. On the other hand some things are obviously written again and again for each kind of input sensor for example... But that's a little cost to pay to get all the useful information when you need it. Very useful information is also provided about buffering and expanding circuits. This book does not require special knowledge in electronics.

5.0 out of 5 stars microcontroller application cookbook, February 12, 2001

M.J.S. (FT. Wayne , Indiana-U>S>A>) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Microcontroller Application Cookbook (Microcontroller Application Cookbooks) (Paperback)

excellent book for applications to real world! No silly formulas, straight forward app.s,with just enough programming to wet your appetite to extend your own ideas.Interfacing and controll with I.C.s, S.S.R.s,Temperature I.C.s,etc. You will not be dis- appointed with this effort that the author has endeavored to get his ideas across to layman and especially the novice.It's priced right and will give you many,many new ideas about the BS-2 from Parallax."NUFF SAID"
