Abstract :
The design and development of a microprocessor-based tunneling machine controller is presented. A single-board 8085 multiprocessor is used to implement the control system. The design concept, software implementation, and hardware construction are discussed. An example is given in the application of the prototype controller for the control of an electronic analog to a tunneling machine.<>
