Microcontrollers fundamentals for engineers and scientists [electronic resource] / Steven F. Barrett, Daniel J. Pack.
This book provides practicing scientists and engineers a tutorial on the fundamental concepts and use of microcontrollers. Today, microcontrollers, or single integrated circuit (chip) computers, play critical roles in almost all instrumentation and control systems. Most existing books are written fo...
