4.0 out of 5 stars
Great start book ... but not complete, December 7, 2005
This review is from: Microcontrollers in Practice (Springer Series in Advanced Microelectronics) (Hardcover)
The book itself is very good for a semi-beginner. The three microcontroller families (HC11, AVR, 9051) are well described and so are the differences between them and the similarities. The first half of the book is dedicated to the description of the microcontrollers, while the second part is dedicated to some useful projects. The projects have some hardware explanations as well the software. The book is accompanied by a CD which has all the projects (hardware PCBs and ASM code).
The only thing i dont like in this book is that the hardware schematics are incomplete. The authors present some useful development boards, but as they dont have the values of all the components (although the PCBs are included on the CD and seem to be there for the reader to be able to build them at home), so the reader can not actually build any of this boards wich is a shame.
I supposed that a book with this price would have things like this done correctly, but appareantly i was wrong.
Sorry for bad english, not a native speaker.
