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 3: Software

  • The last line of typeset code should begin LATFbits.LATF0, not LATA5LATFbits.LATF0.

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 , the power dissipated by the transistor is ."
