AWC Electronics is proud to offer a full line of PAK modules that add the features you need to nearly any microprocessor. Need more I/O, floating point math, PWM, or servo control? A PAK can not only add those features, but it also saves your valuable development time and scarce processor resources — and that saves you money! They also offer kits, software, and other tools for working with microcontrollers and programmable logic.

If you are a subscriber to Elektor Magazine, you can save $8.00 off this coool book. If you order by March 16, you can even get free shipping & handling.  

Place your order at http://www.elektor-usa.com/offer .  

To be able to benefit from this offer, subscribers should first register to the Elektor website. This is a quick and simple affair! Click here…

 Here’s the details from this site:

This hands-on book covers a series of exciting and fun projects with PIC microcontrollers. 

For example a silent alarm, a people sensor, a radar, a night buzzer, a VU meter, a RGB fader, a serial network, a poetry box and a sound super-compression. You can build more than 50 projects for your own use. The clear explanations, schematics, and pictures of each project on a breadboard make this a fun activity.

You can also use this book as a study guide. The technical background information in each project explains why the project is set up the way it is, including the use of datasheets. This way you’ll learn a lot about the project and the microcontroller being used, and you can expand the project to suit your own needs…making it ideal for use in schools and colleges.

This book can also be used as a reference guide. The explanation of the JAL programming language and all of  the expansion libraries used is unique and found nowhere else. Using the index, you can easily locate projects that serve as examples for the main commands. But even after you’ve built all the projects it will still be a valuable reference guide to keep next to your PC.

Four microcontrollers are discussed, the 12f675, 16f628, 16f876A, and 16f877, as well as how to migrate programs from one microcontroller to another.

All software used in this book can be downloaded for free, including all of the source code, a program editor, and the JAL open source programming language. This powerful and yet easy to learn language is used by hobbyists and professionals worldwide.

A hardware kit is also available for purchase separately that contains all the parts to get you started, including a few microcontrollers. There is even a free support website with additional information, FAQ, and links:www.elektor.com/picbert.
