The Microcontroller Idea Book: Circuits, Programs & Applications Featuring the 8052-BASIC Single-C

Received the book in good shape. Mail was slow but that was due to the postal service I presume.

Great book for an introduction to Microcontrollers

Although the 8052 processor is very outdated, it still can be used to control many things in this ever-so-hi-tech-world. The 8052 proves to be a very affordable microcontroller, rather than buying a full blown computer or PC104-based computer. This book is very introductory, but it does assume you know basic electronics. The 8052 is no where near as complex as an FPGA, but the programming rituals can prepare you before you learn the basics of programming the FPGA(theory and your thinking of logic). The experience gained by playing around with the 8052 sure gave me the important thinking processes needed for other design projects at work.

This is the best book based on the 8052-BASIC chip

This is the best book based on the 8052-BASIC chip, and is a must have for anyone (hobbyist or professional) who is the planning on work with the 8051 or another microcontroller. Believe me this book is the good first step. ... .

Excellent Information

This book made my project possible. All of the information that I needed on Microcontrollers was in this book. It even has a list of companies that supply the hardware that she discusses. When I started my project, I believed that I would have a hard time finding information. To my surprise it was all in one book :)If you are working with Microcontrollers, this book is a necessity!

Excellent Book

Jan has done an exceptional job putting together this book. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in microcontroller technology. This book includes many examples of Interface & Control techniques/circuits.
