| Introduction |
The popular Evil Genius format provides hobbyists with a fun and inexpensive way to learn about the Microchip PIC microcontroller. 123 experiments, each one building on the knowledge gained in the previous one, teach the reader about programming and how to integrate hardware and software from the PIC master.
- Extends the readers' skill to include C and assembly language programming for mid-range PIC microcontrollers
- Compatible with free software development sites to substantially reduce the cost of experiments
- Includes directions for purchasing a PCB that can be used as a power supply and electronic control system

| Key features |
Each 2-3 page consecutive experiment builds upon the knowledge learned in the ones previously provided
Extends readers' skills to include 'C' and assembly language programming for mid-range PIC microcontrollers
Works with free software development suites to substantially reduce readers' costs of completing experiments
Includes easy directions for ordering a PCB (sold by a third party) that can be used as a power supply, provides a simple PIC program, includes reset control circuitry for the experiments, and is designed to be the electronic control subsystem for a robot
