Abstract
Microprocessors and sensor technology together achieved a fully automatic washing machine based on fuzzy control. The system used an integrated mixed-signal, system-level PIC16F877A microcontroller. The system detects the water level, allows user input through a keypad on the main board, and manages draining and automatic refilling of water for rinsing clothes. This enables the washing process to be completed automatically. Experimental results show that the system is stable, easy to operate, cost-effective, and equipped with advanced features, giving it practical value.
