Notes:
Microcontrollers are small devices commonly used for control purposes over a widerange of applications. As the control strategies and the selection of hardware differ from oneapplication to another, it is a common practice for engineers to develop the application programsbased-on the selected hardware and the control methodologies. Such development process requirestime for programming and testing, especially for large projects which need to interface and integratewith a number of different hardware and software. This paper presents an approach using theconcept of soft development modules to shorten the application program development time forcontrol systems using microcontrollers. A set of soft modules has been developed for a widely usedmicrocontroller. The testing conducted on the serial communication and fuzzy logic controlmodules successfully produced application programs within a much shorter time, and reducedhuman programming errors. The application of soft development modules will allow systemdevelopers to focus on the system design level without the need to spend large amount of time ongeneric programming details. Such an approach provides a useful programming developmentplatform for future applications using microcontrollers
