Abstract
In this paper we present the development and implementation of an intravenous infusion controller system based on FPGA´s. The system receives information of an infusion drop sensor and controls the drop flow by giving the direction and number of steps of a stepper motor, which compress the drip-feed hose. The system consists of a mixed implementation of software and hardware. The software was implemented in C++ and the hardware was implemented by using FPGA´s
