NU32 Book Errata

Below are errata for the book "Embedded Computing and Mechatronics with the PIC32 Microcontroller," Kevin M. Lynch, Nicholas Marchuk, and Matthew L. Elwin, Newnes/Elsevier 2015. For succinctness, typos are other minor errors that cannot lead to confusion are not reported here.

Throughout the book

• Due to fixed-width fonts chosen for typesetting code, sometimes two consecutive underscores _ _ appear as a single long line, and sometimes two consecutive minus signs -- appear as a single long line. For example, some code listings using the _ _ ISR macro appear to have a single long line before the ISR.

Chapter 21: Sensors

• The Greek letter psi in the summation block of Figure 21.22 (bottom) should be an uppercase sigma.

Chapter 22: Digital Signal Processing

• page 354, second-to-last sentence: should say "ratio G of their amplitudes"

Appendix A: A Crash Course in C

• page 523: unit8_t should be uint8_t

Appendix B: Circuits Review

• page 595: In the first sentence of "Application: Switch debouncing", it should read "clean falling edge from V to GND," not "clean falling edge from GND to V."
• page 602: The sentence after the first set of bullets should say "When $I_{E}>0$, the power dissipated by the transistor is $I_{B}V_{BE,on}+I_{C}V_{CE}$."
