Product Description
Ready-to-build 8051 microcontroller projects--at your fingertips. Probably the most successful microcontroller on the market today, Intel's legendary 8051 lives on in enhanced versions sold by more than 20 chip manufacturers. Packed with over 30 experiments using Dallas Semiconductor's "HSM" flavors of the 8051 plus the Atmel AT89Cx051 "Flash" based versions, Myke Predko's Programming and Customizing the 8051 Microcontroller puts you in control of the 8051's architecture and instruction set--and even supplies a baker's dozen of ready-to-build example applications, programs and circuits. (You'll see how to create an Atmel AT89Cx061 programmer...a device emulator that exploits the 8051's ability to access external memory...a robot based on the Tamiya "Wall Hugging Mouse"--complete with a TV remote control interface...two real-time 8051 operating systems...and many other exciting projects). Best of all, the included CD-ROM supplies source code for the book's experiments and applications, a demonstration cop of the "UMPS" integrated development environment (IDE), and data sheets for the Dallas Semiconductor and Atmel 8051 compatible devices.

 Not well written January 15, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
First off, a book should never be written in the first person. "I wrote this program...", "I did this better..", etc., etc. This guy loves to blow his own horn. More "I"s in this book than in a dark alley peep show. Very annoying to read with all of the "I"s and other bad grammar.
Second, if someone is new to the 8051 architecture this book is not for them. The author does a bad job of explaining many simple concepts, especially the 8051 memory layout. His diagrams and explanations are illogical and down right confusing. And when it came to more advanced topics such as serial IO via interrupts, hardly a peep of good information or examples.
There are many good books on 8051/8052 micro-controllers and this is definitely not one of them.

The style of writer for explaining the contents is difficult to understand.
I need to repeatedly open the pages already read to understand the meaning of the contents.
But information of the resources and web info of the micom vendor and supplier is very usefull for me.
 Excellent Book! February 5, 2005

A wealth of information! Such incredible projects! Video, Remote Control, Robotics, Servo, RS-232 Serial I/O. The author does a superb job at explaining many complex topics, and makes the instruction set easier with diagrams. The book is not really about the 8051 Microcontroller, but rather the family of 8051 compatible devices, which uses the Industry Standard 8051 set of instructions.

Si Ud. ya tiene experiencia con microcontroladores, este libro es de mucha uitilidad para revisar soluciones practicas a problemas tipicos. Yo personalmente ya realice el experimento del control remoto (pag 371) y funciona muy bien, me estoy divirtiendo bastante y mi proximo objetivo es el NTSC.
 Don't judge one book by its thickness... April 3, 2004

The author give me an impression that he just started to learn about 8051 right before starting to write this book.
In this book, it is not much explanation on the hardware features. Being able to connect to external memory is one of the biggest strength of 8051. Surprisingly, the author failed to eleborate on it. His book on PIC is a great book. However, I think he treats 8051 as PIC, which is not the objective of the 8051 book. The projects included in this book are more like PIC project, where small memory, I/O circuit is needed.However, the programming portion in this book gives rather simple and not bad explanation to assembly language beginner like me. I think that is the only useful part in this book.
