Washing machine controller with a new programming method

Abstract

In the paper the newly designed at Poznan University of Technology (PUT) washing machine controller is presented. The com-monly used in washing machines sensors, drives and other input-output elements are briefly described. The designed at PUT controller is based on 32-bit STM32 microcontroller. The used in this controller modules are described and their input/output signals and basics of operations are presented. The developed in the controller user-machine communication devices, elements and methods are described. The paper presents new washing machine programming methods and implementation software, such as voice recognition and intelligent programming of washing machine that were applied in the new controller.
