This book is a complete guide to learning everything you need to know about building something from nothing. We will base our creations around the very popular PIC family of microcontrollers. PIC... More > stands for “Peripheral Interface Controller.” PICs are used in all sorts of things like: alarm systems, washing machines, automobile controls, timers, medical devices and even toasters! We will be using them as the brains for all our projects. We start out by building a simple power supply and work our way up to a complete sumo-fighting robot programmed with the easy to use Mikrobasic. Along the way, we construct binary counters, light meters, infrared sensors, even a digital musical keyboard!< Less

This is the official text for the F.R.T.K.I. grant. If you're looking for a great manual to get you started programming 16F62X PICs with mikroBasic then this is likely your best bet.
