PICAXE Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius

<h4>WHIP UP SOME FIENDISHLY FUN PICAXE MICROCONTROLLER DEVICES</h4> <p><i>"Ron has worked hard to explain how the PICAXE system operates through simple examples, and I'm sure his easy-to-read style will help many people progress with their PICAXE projects."</i> --From the Foreword by Clive Seager, Revolution Education Ltd.</p> <p>This wickedly inventive guide shows you how to program, build, and debug a variety of PICAXE microcontroller projects. <i>PICAXE Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius</i> gets you started with programming and I/O interfacing right away, and then shows you how to develop a master processor circuit.</p> <p><b>From "Hello, World!" to "Hail, Octavius!"</b><br /><br />All the projects in Part I can be accomplished using either an M or M2 class PICAXE processor, and Part II adds 20X2-based master processor projects to the mix. Part III culminates in the creation of Octavius--a sophisticated robotics experimentation platform featuring a 40X2 master processor and eight breadboard stations which allow you to develop intelligent peripherals to augment Octavius' functioning. The only limit is your imagination!</p> <p><b><i>PICAXE Microcontroller Projects for the Evil Genius:</i></b></p> <ul> <li>Features step-by-step instructions and helpful photos and illustrations</li> <li>Allows you to customize each project for your purposes</li> <li>Offers all the programs in the book free for download</li> <li>Removes the frustration factor--all required parts are listed, along with sources</li> </ul> <p><b><i>Build these and other devious devices:</i></b></p> <ul> <li>Simple mini-stereo jack adapter</li> <li>USBS-PA3 PICAXE programming adapter</li> <li>Power supply</li> <li>Three-state digital logic probe</li> <li>20X2 master processor circuit</li> <li>TV-R input module</li> <li>8-bit parallel 16X2 LCD board</li> <li>Serialized 16X2 LCD</li> <li>Serialized 4X4 matrix keypad</li> <li>SPI 4-digit LED display</li> <li>Countdown timer</li> <li>Programmable, multi-function peripheral device and operating system</li> <li>Octavius--advanced robotics experimentation platform</li> <li>L298 dual DC motor controller board</li> </ul> <p></p> <p>Each fun, inexpensive Evil Genius project includes a detailed list of materials, sources for parts, schematics, and lots of clear, well-illustrated instructions for easy assembly. The larger workbook-style layout and convenient two-column format make following the step-by-step instructions a breeze.</p> <p><b>Make Great Stuff!</b><br /><br />TAB, an imprint of McGraw-Hill Professional, is a leading publisher of DIY technology books for makers, hackers, and electronics hobbyists.</p>
