*Provides practical guidance and essential theory making it ideal for engineers facing a design challenge or students devising a project*Includes real-world design guides for implementing a microcontroller-based control systems*Requires only basic mathematical and engineering background as the use of microcontrollers is introduced from first principlesEngineers involved in the use of microcontrollers in measurement and control systems will find this book an essential practical guide, providing design principles and application case studies backed up with sufficient control theory and electronics to develop their own systems.It will also prove invaluable for students and experimenters seeking real-world project work involving the use of a microcontroller.Unlike the many introductory books on microcontrollers Dogan Ibrahim has used his engineering experience to write a book based on real-world applications.A basic mathematical and engineering background is assumed, but the use of microcontrollers is introduced from first principles.
