WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE GO-TO IC??

If you were stranded on a desert island with just one integrated circuit... (Just kidding)

No seriously, what do you think is the most used, most versatile, widely available, cost-effective, your favorite, can't live without integrated circuit? Why? (Hint: There's no right or wrong answer!)
 
 
And a big thanks to Newhaven Display for sponsoring this week's Reads! Check 'em out, they have cool stuff.

That's it, Enjoy! 
Build a Solar Thermal Water Heater Controller
BUILD A SOLAR THERMAL WATER HEATER CONTROLLER
 
When the controller for my solar water heating system died on a particularly cold night and burst the pipes in the collector, it was time to design and build a new and improved version.

SMILEY'S WORKSHOP #56
C Programming * Hardware * Projects

After looking in detail at the Arduino alarm clock software on the PC side, we saw how date and time data are handled on PCs and microcontrollers and began looking at the Arduino side of the software. Let's continue and dig a bit deeper into the software

Beginner's Guide to Embedded C Programming
 
The C language has been covered in many books but none as dedicated to the embedded microcontroller beginner as the Beginner's Guide to Embedded C Programming. Through his down to earth style of writing, Nuts & Volts contributor Chuck Hellebuyck delivers a step-by-step introduction to learning how to program microcontrollers with the C language. In addition, he uses a powerful C compiler that the reader can download for free in a series of hands-on projects with sample code so you can learn right along with him. 
  • Entry level approach to learning the C language for embedded microcontrollers
  • Uses the Microchip PIC16F690 microcontroller
  • All projects use the Microchip PICkit 2 Programmer/Development Board
  • Free HI-TECH PICC-Lite C compiler used for all projects
