All those books amount a pile of recyclable material without the datasheet. Some books may be useful as a beginners introduction to microcontrollers and electronics, but you'll have to know the details of the particular PIC you are using if you want to accomplish anything meaningful. If the datasheet makes no sense, then you need to go back and learn more basics about microcontrollers, digital circuits, and the like. > all are just about the same. there should be some book > which explains theory and applications/examples also.

Again, why are you telling us? I for one may be willing to answer specific questions, but really don't want to hear your rants. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
