Programming 16-Bit PIC Microcontrollers in C: Learning to Fly the PIC 24

Congratulations! You have endured a few more lessons and gained the ability to complete more complex flights. You are now going to enter the third and last part of your training where you'll practice cross-country flying. No more pattern work around the airport, no more landings and take-offs, or maneuvers in the practice area you will finally get to go somewhere!
In the third part of this book, we will start developing new projects that will require you to master several peripheral modules at once. Since the examples will become a bit more complex, not only having an actual demonstration board (the Explorer 16) at hand is recommended, but also having the ability to perform small modifcations and utilize the prototyping area to add new functionality to the demonstration board will be necessary. Simple schematics and component part numbers will be offered in the following chapters as required. On the companion web site "FlyingthePIC24.com" (and/or "Program-mingthePIC24.com") you will find additional expansion boards and prototyping options to help you enjoy even the most advanced projects.
