 Programming and Customizing the 8051 Microcontroller - 1999 with CD-ROM by Myke Predko
Many people consider the 8051 to be the world's most popular embedded microcontroller architecture. The device can be found in a wide variety of products from toys to jet fighters.
Programming and Customizing the 8051 is an excellent introduction to this popular chip. Starting with an introduction to embedded microocontrollers (and the 8051 in particular), I guide you through basic 8051 programming and hardware interfacing. More than thirty experiments will shown you how code and hardware is created with the 8051. A dozen example applications show advanced programming and interfacing concepts including Real Time Operating Systems and serial device connections.
Included with the book is a CD-ROM containing chip datasheets, application source code, Gerber files to enable you to create your own raw cards of the provided applications and development tools to assemble, simulate and burn your applications.

 The Tab Electronics Handbook of Microcontrollers with CD-ROM by Myke Predko
My goal with this book was to create a complete reference package for today's eight bit embedded microcontrollers. As well as providing technical and processor programming information on the:
Intel 8051
Motorola 68HC05
Microchip PICMicro
Atmel AVR
Parallax Basic Stamp
Announced Jul-98. 850 pages.
This is a massive piece of work from our friend Myke Predko.
Myke also designed the OEM-SLI LCD interface.
Dontronics and Simmstick get a few mentions. There is a project using an AVR micro and Simmstick which reads a Pot position and generates Video output, and Appendix E at the rear of the book, covers Simmstick.
AVR Enhanced Risc Microcontrollers by Dr. Claus Kuhnel.
Hardcover
Programming and Customizing the Pic Microcontroller by Myke Predko.
Hardcover or Paperback Myke is another Piclist regular. We sell his Serial LCD. Dontronics have been involved with a lot of the beta testing of Myke's products and consider him a good personal friend. Worth it just for the disk of software that comes with it.
 Basic Stamp by Claus Kuhnel and Klaus Zahnert. Paperback Claus is linked to Dontronics 'Links' page. Plenty of Dontronics Simmsticks on his Web pages. Claus and Klaus sent us a copy of this book for evaluation. What Parallax didn't cover on the Basic Stamp One may be a better title.
 Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp Computer by Scott Edwards.
Hardcover or Paperback
Scott chose to do the Public release of his PIC source Book/Disk on the Dontronics Home page.
Scott shouldn't need an introduction to Stamp or PIC users.
His Applications and Projects in US magazines are frequent and very well written.
 Programming the Parallel Port : Interfacing the PC for Data Acquisition and Process Control by Dhananjay V. Gadre
Paperback
martinc@cs.athabascau.ca from Athabasca, Canada , 04/21/98, rating=10: What your PC must do to sieze the world by the bits. This very up-to-date handbook reveals little-known secrets of PC hardware and the software needed to control the outside world with a PC. Suitable background in electronics is given for the book to be used as a textbook, yet the approach is that of a helpful cookbook. Going beyond the PC, the important topic of microcontrollers is addressed. Best of all, important problems in data measurement using PCs can be addressed with very inexpensive hardware easily built (a complete novice might need a Radio Shack style guide to how to do soldering). Software is included in source code form on disk, an added bonus. Reading this book won't get you an EE degree but it might be the next best thing.

 Visual Basic Programmer's Guide To Serial Communications by Richard Grier
Paperback
Jan Axelson (jaxelson@lvr.com) , 06/12/97, rating=9: A valuable guide from an accomplished programmer. Richard Grier clearly has a wealth of experience in programming serial communications, and in this book he shares his knowledge with readers. Sections I found especially useful were the debugging tips, a discussion of real-time Windows programming, and descriptions of bugs and anomolies for every version of MsComm. There are dozens of quick tips in Q & A format, and many insider tips and insights. It's an excellent resource.

 Programming, Interfacing & Using the PC'S Parallel Printer Port by Jan Axelson
Paperback
chipm@netusa1.net from Kokomo, IN , 03/15/98, rating=10: Very thorough and informative.....good job as usual for Jan. I have read Jan's columns for years in various electronics magazines and papers. She does not disappoint in this book. She presents the subject of PC interfacing very thoroughly and with much detail. Her use of Visual Basic was important so that the book would appeal and be usable to the most widest audience possible. Not everyone is a C programmer so I think the book would be useful to all. The book cleared up many concepts for me. Very well written.

 Design With Pic Microcontrollers by John B. Peatman
Hardcover
A reader from Santa Barbara, CA , 01/10/98, rating=9: Concise, readable design guide suitable for beginners. Unlike many of the current micro-controller texts currently available which extoll the history of the technology and earlier (re. out of date information), this text is refreshingly to the point. It focuses on current PIC controllers (could use an addendum for newest additions) and current interface components such as rotary encoders and LCD displays suitable for low cost design.
PIC and Basic Stamp Books
BASIC Stamp / Stamp 2 / SX
Microcontroller Projects With Basic Stamps.
Paperback - 300 pages Bk&Cd Rom edition (October 1999)
ISBN: 0879305878
This book is much better than the regular Stamp manual. It starts out explaining how everything works and then covers each of the commands by function which is a great idea instead of alphabetizing them). After that the author shows you how things work by bringing you through a series of projects. Unlike some books most of these projects are simple enough to breadboard in 10 or 15 minutes. There are a few projects that are more complicated at the end so you can get some feel for how do do a real design too (like the morese code keyer that has a pcb).
