Knowledge Base

Our Knowledge Base aims to ensure that you have the necessary information at your fingertips. The format is to keep the topics brief, granular and pointed. At times there may be code samples, tips and design ideas. All the information is intended to assist you in getting started and to keep you moving until you have a completed project.

The toolbox consists of the key kit you need to work in embedded engineering. While you may not be able to call yourself an embedded engineer just yet, everything you do and learn will help you reach that goal of proficiency.

The PIC Microcontroller like many other embedded devices has key environmental requirements that get the micro up and running. These fundamentals are essential as unless adhered to the device may not start up and operate correctly.

The Applied series is separated into two key threads namely Applied PIC Micro Development and Applied Automation Using Embedded Technology. Automation is the more advanced topic, and so we recommend that you start with the Applied Micro Development topic to get to grips with an embedded device and what it is capable of and what you can achieve with it.
