"Whether you're a trained technician, a hobbyist or just plain curious, you will find StampWorks filled with answers to exactly how microcontrollers have come to be such an expanding part of our modern world. And you'll have fun while you're learning! This isn't a heavy engineering tome, but rather a step-by-step guide through 35 experiments designed to move the beginner from simple to moderately complex projects. Author Jon Williams' relaxed and friendly approach aids immeasurably to understanding the ins and outs of programming numerous devices used in microprocessor control. The spiral-bound, loose-leaf manual uses large type, simple diagrams and effective graphics. Each experiment is complete with written software, followed by Williams' easily understood explanation of the program and hardware operation. By the time you've worked with various display devices,learned how to count events, measure voltage, frequency and temperature, drive stepper and hobby servo motors, handle analog inputs and outputs and even build some simple games, you're on your way to designing your own projects from a solid foundation of knowledge and experience. StampWorks is a refreshing and stimulating introduction to the fascinating field of microprocessor control. As the book says, "Automate your environment; micro-control your world!"
