Re: Joshua Lamorie's request for info and Roger Ehrlich's response -

I am a graduate student at the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada.  I have been
using the HC11 using Motorola's boards and boards from New Micro's Inc. for the past
five years.  I have also developed several fuzzy logic controllers using the 
Motorola s/w supplied with the kit.  I cannot say enough good things about this 
chip and the fuzzy support s/w supplied by Motorola.

I modified a toy electric truck so that I could control the steering using a small
r/c servo and built in some position-sensing devices using old joystick parts and
various other parts from my junkbox.  I then developed a small fuzzy logic system
and rulebase to dock the truck from a distance of about 1 metre or so (a la Nguyen
and Widrow and more recently Bart Kosko).  The system was very easy to design and
get working using Motorola's kit and it works beautifully.  I have gotten a lot of
mileage out of the Fuzzy Truck by taking it to conferences over the past few years.

I highly recommend this package for anyone wanting to design small fuzzy logic
control systems.  If you are familiar with the HC11 and with Fuzzy Logic then you
don't really need to buy the kit - all of the s/w is available free from Motorola
and the boards from New Micro are very nice and relatively cheap; however, the kit
is a great way to learn about fuzzy logic and develop small systems.

Anyone wishing more info on the truck should contact me by email.

Thank you, Motorola!
