Introduction to C Language Learned with PIC

　The PIC microcontroller is so typical that it is called PIC16F84A. The PIC16C84 has been on the market for about 30 years, but it continues to be released with improvements. Microcontrollers are connected to all kinds of electronic devices, especially in cars, which have dozens of microcontrollers and are almost robotic.
　Various microcontrollers are available to learn the basics of embedded microcontrollers in electronic devices that we use casually. PIC microcontrollers are relatively cheap and can be used for a variety of experiments if a writer is purchased.
　In addition, free software called MPLAB can be downloaded from Microchip, which allows the C language to be handled, so there is no need to purchase software. Previously, C software for PIC microcontrollers was quite expensive.
　Therefore, in this book, you can study the basics of learning and experimenting with microcontrollers as the foundation of the IoT, from the introduction of MPLAB to the production of PIC microcontroller line tracers, in sequence. Exercises and experiments will be carried out so that you can learn in an easy-to-understand way.
