Gets you up and running fast! I've been programming PICs in Basic for years, but this Flowcode approach for development is unique and amazingly fast. I'm tempted to abandon conventional programming altogether. Wish there were sequels to this book; particularly focusing-in on some of the Flowcode advanced Component Macros (GPS, CAN, I2C, etc). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hardware Programmers *by H***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2013* The material in this book that was especially helpful was information on procurement and use of hardware programmers. I likedthe information on the implementing of Pic Microcontrollers for use in real world projects. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ PIC Projects For Non-Programmers - A Good, But Mistitled, Learning Aid *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2012* PIC Projects for Non-Programmers  is a great technical resource. It's somewhat mistitled. While titled "for non-programmers," the target audience, specifically Engineers, definitely has some programming as part of their job descriptions. Most people who want to undertake PIC projects have some programming background, or at least an interest in it.This book is centered around Flowcode, a functional flow chart program that allows you to logically map out the PIC programs actions without actually having to code it. That allows you to leverage or improve your understanding of how PIC programs should be organized without actually having to program. But I worry that without a focus on the underlying code, Flowcode may demotivate those who might otherwise take their knowledge further. Furthermore, they don't tell you that the version of Flowcode you are allowed to freely access with this book is limited. If you want a version for student or commercial use, you will have to pay premiums to get that functionality. So while the title implies this is a general text to help you learn the concepts behind PIC projects, it sometimes devolves into a "how-to" guide for Flowcode that seems designed to sell the premium licenses of the program.In some sense, this book could be a really good learning aid for a student interested in electronics and engineering. I would go so far as to say that this book could be used for middle school and high school technical programs, as well as rudimentary college courses. Because the projects are covered in a step-by-step fashion in Flowcode diagrams, students can easily get the benefits of understanding how PIC programs work. Even the related topics beyond Flowcode are covered simply enough that they are easy to follow and provide good foundations for further learning.PRACTICAL TOPICSChapter 8 provides a methodical, if not exhaustive, treatment of RS232 serial communications. Since many newer computers lack DB9 and serial ports, they also lightly cover USB to RS232 adapters. There is coverage of Hypterterminal/PuTTY and some of the basic programming needed to establish communications and control the MC.The last two chapters lightly touch upon analog to digital converters and power control from DC to AC. While all three of the final chapters are very light, they do provide enough background to do some basic stuff. Know that you will have to seek out further resources for these last three topics.THE HARDWAREOne of the things that I appreciated about this text is that, rather than following one microcontroller throughout the entire text, they cover a variety of models and components in the examples that are relevant to each chapter. They progress from the 16F84 PIC MC to the 16F88 PIC MC and the ECIO28 between chapters 3 and 4 when they cover binary LED output.And when they cover LCD outputs in chapter 7, they focus on the Hitachi 44780. Since most LCDs are compatible with it the examples are very relevant.This provides a better understanding of the concepts, even if it may not be quite as easy to mimic across different units. Still, many things do transfer over and I found the transitions between the various topics and components to be nearly seamless.CONCLUSIONThe included examples are methodical and logical. At times, the treatment is not as comprehensive as I would like it to be. But this is still a great resource. And the explanations are so simple and easy to follow, that the positives far outweigh the negatives. I recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1891546-pic-projects-for-non-programmers](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/1891546-pic-projects-for-non-programmers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
