Developing a software to determine the microcontroller specifications for fuzzy logic control applications

In recent years, the Fuzzy Logic Control Systems (FLCSs) have becomewidespread and their application areas have also extended. There are numeroussoftwares developed to use in design of Fuzzy Logic Control Systems. Some of themare given in previous works section.In this study, a Windows operating system based, user-friendly software todetermine the optimum microcontroller specifications for Fuzzy Logic Controlapplications is developed. With this software the optimum microcontroller might bechosen. Regarding to performance and cost effectiveness, the best solutions mightalso be provided. Besides, the microcontroller selection criteria is defined andformulated after studying various applications in different fields. According to this,an algorithm, which forms the fundamentals of the software, is composed. Thesoftware, which is developed by ?Microsoft Visual Basic? visual programminglanguage, computes the minimum performance and capacity values for the intendedapplication by using the parameters, which are defined by the user and display theoptimum microcontroller specifications.Keywords: Fuzzy Systems, Fuzzy Logic Controllers, Microcontroller for FuzzyLogic Control, Software for Fuzzy Logic Control Systems, Microsoft Visual Basic
