Actually none of these experiments are inherently evil, so obviously the reader will be responsible for the dark side of, say, library functions.

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. It extends the readers' skill to include C and assembly language programming for mid-range PIC microcontrollers. It is compatible with free software development sites to substantially reduce the cost of experiments. It includes directions for purchasing a PCB that can be used as a power supply and electronic control system.
