Embedded Computing and Mechatronics with the PIC32 Microcontroller

Very good book with accurate informations, without copying official doc of Microchip. A lot of interesting examples, describing all aspects of the chip. With NU32 Development board, the whole is a very good kit to learn and to practice.

The book has interesting content. But cannot get the breadboard and kit needed to do the instruction material. Attempts to contact the various authors at the University failed to obtain where to get these required parts to do the experiments failed. The associated webpages are out of date and have not been updated. If you get this book and want to do actual hardware experiments you will most likely need to use other pic32mx boards. Otherwise you have to build and make your own pcb from the linked gerber files on the webpages NU32.

one of the better PIC books I have bought, even though it is written for their own hardware with just a few obvious mods their examples will work for other applications.

Great book. It is very technical. I used this constantly while transitioning my project from Arduino M0 Pro to the PIC32MZ.

Works perfect.

This is an incredibly informative book covering a wide range of Mechatronics related topics. I used it for a class that I took at Northwestern University during my Masters degree. The descriptive chapters, along with the downloadable sample code and the instructive videos that are available, make it very easy to get a firm understanding of the use of the PIC32. There are also free sample chapters for anyone interested in purchasing it at http://nu32.org/. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in learning about micro-controllers as it provides a good base for beginners and a lot of knowledge for more experienced users.

Bought this book on its release, December 2015. The book is written around the NU32 Development Board which can't be bought in UK. After a few emails they asked for my full address so they can ship it to me. Haven't heard anything from them ever since and they don't reply to emails anymore. More than a year later still no board and I'm stuck with a useless book. Thank you!

This may be a useful text to go along with the course of Study Kevin Lynch provides, however, I don't recommend it for someone trying to learn on their own. There are numerous areas where I found parts of the example code do not have sufficient explanations about where certain syntax comes from. For example, in the section on interrupts, the example given uses _CORE_TIMER_VECTOR in the code to identify the interrupt being used but I couldn't find where that comes from so I know what goes in its place for other interrupts without digging for hours in other files and materials.The explanations aren't the easiest to follow. Even watching his youtube videos didn't help. The book is based on using the NU32 board which has a bootloader and much of the setup is taken care of in the NU32 include file which doesn't help when working with a custom board with no bootloaders and just requires programming from the ground up.He also focuses too much on using command line techniques for compiling etc and not the available tools like MPLab IDE or MPLabX.I'm sure in a classroom where it is used as a reference while an instructor is there to fill in the blanks and answer questions, it is ok but it just doesn't meet the needs of the individual. I recommend 'Programming 32-bit Microcontrollers in C: Exploring the PIC32' which is much easier to follow and clear.

I've bought many books about PIC32. It's the most complete and useful you will read. Unlike "Exploring the PIC32" which mainly uses the nowobsolete peripheral library, this book explains everything you need to use your MCU without the need of other libraries. All the necessary specialfunction registers are documented. It contains lots of information and even gives you a headstart about Microchip Harmony.
