An increasing number of embedded application developers and other enthusiasts are switching to ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) microcontrollers and the associated platforms created by communities and leading chip manufacturers like Atmel. Elektor was the first magazine to publish an ARM development system for home construction and use back in 2005.
In this new book from Elektor, you learn to interface and program hardware devices in a wide range of useful applications, using ARM7 microcontrollers and the C programming language. Examples covered in full detail include a simple LED to a multi-megabyte SD card running the FAT file system.
In the book, a 32-bit ARM7 microcontroller is used in the numerous interfacing and software examples, which are written in the C programming language. Free or open source software is applied throughout and all programming tools can be downloaded from the Internet.
While exploring ARM programming techniques, you are interfacing to LEDs, transistors, optocouplers, relays, solenoids, switches, keypads, LCD displays, seven segment displays, DC motors, stepper motors, external analogue signals using the ADC, RS-232, RS-485, TWI, USB, SPI and SD memory cards.
A chapter on more advanced ARM microcontrollers is included with an overview of some of the latest ARM microcontrollers and their features.
An as introductory offer, 13% discount and free postage is granted to Elektor magazine subscribers until September 10, 2010. Finally, a tip: order this book along with other Elektor products and get free shipping on the whole order!
