Differences from the First Edition
The general structure and approach of the book remains the same, with the
following differences/improvements:
* The PIC 16F87, 16F88, 16F883 and 18F2420 8-bit microcontrollers are
introduced, in addition to the 16F84A and 16F873A. The 18F242 is no longer
considered.
* There are more introductory programming examples, notably in Chapters 4 and 5.
* The PICkit 2 is included as a development tool. MPLAB version 8.10 is used.
* End of chapter questions are included in most chapters (though not those which relate mainly to programming).
* There is more consideration of "advanced" PIC microcontroller features, like nanoWatt technology and clock frequency management.
* Powerpoint slides for instructors will be available from the Elsevier
support site.
* Code "snips" are available below, and on the Elsevier support site; there is
no book CD.
* There is a new final chapter, which is a survey of 16/32-bit PIC microcontrollers.

Notes:
All information on building the Derbot AGV appears in the Derbot
site section.
Code snips and errata (except for tiny typos) appear in chapter sections.

Table of Contents
This correctly shows (page xv), that there is no
Section 13.11 and 13.12. These are just missing! See Chapter 13 below.
Chapter 2
Errata
Table 2.1, page 29. This incorrectly states that the 16F87/88 have two
capture/compare/PWM modules. In fact they have only one (as seen later for the
16F88 in Figure 12.2).

Note that the PICkit 2 only works with the 16F84A microcontroller when accessed through the stand alone mode, as shown in the book. The 16F84A is not listed as being supported when you access the PICkit 2 through MPLAB.

Errata
Sadly, there is no Section 13.10 and
13.11, the numbering is just wrong. This one missed me, and all proof-readers.

To see Port B change properly when simulating Program Example 14.1, it is necessary to set the PBADEN (Port B A/D Enable) configuration bit as shown below. If this is not done, then only the upper three bits of Port B respond to changes in the program. Access this screen in MPLAB by clicking Configure -> Configuration Bits.
