Covers Programming the Z80 in Assembly Language & Teaches Both Novices & Advanced Programmers to Write Complete Z80 Programs. Requires No Prior Knowledge of Programming
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the Z80 microprocessor, carefully integrating hardware and software topics with practical laboratory exercises. The book provides a complete, easy-to-understand introduction to the architecture and interfacing of microprocessor-based systems, assembly language programming the Z80, interfacing peripherals, programmable I/O devices, applications, and design and more.
This book thoroughly explains how computers work. It starts by fully examining a NAND gate, then goes on to build every piece and part of a small, fully operational computer. The necessity and use of codes is presented in parallel with the apprioriate pieces of hardware. The book can be easily understood by anyone whether they have a technical background or not. It could be used as a textbook.
We all hate to throw electronics away. Use your 5 volt Arduino and have fun with them instead! Raid your electronics junk box to build the Cestino (Arduino compatible) board and nine other electronics projects, from a logic probe to a microprocessor explorer, and learn some advanced, old-school techniques along the way. Don’t have a well-stocked junk box? No problem. Nearly all the components used in these projects are still available (and cheap) at major electronic parts houses worldwide. Junk Box Arduino is the ultimate have-fun-while-challenging-your-skills guide for Arduino hackers who’ve gone beyond the basic tutorials and are ready for adventures in electronics. Bonus materials include all the example sketches, the Cestino core and bootloader source code, and links to suppliers for parts and tools. Bonus materials include extensions to the Cestino, Sourceforge links for updated code, and all the source-code for the projects.
A fresh look at modern electronics. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this title offers a comprehensive introduction to many areas of electronics. Appropriate for all abilities, it explains how useful systems, such as computers and mobile phones, can be assembled from a small range of integrated circuits. This is a valuable course text for Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced GCE Electronics and for any other advanced electronics course.
