Fiber optics is a light-utilizing signal transmission medium and can be used in a wide variety of sensing sensors. Optical fiber has multifunctional sensing capabilities, namely strain, pressure, temperature, and acoustic signals with a high level of sensitivity. In this study, optical fiber will be used as a mass sensor by utilizing the macro bending method with microcontroller media. The data analysis carried out was compares the graph when the fiber optic is given a certain load, by the number certain windings and when bending with a certain diameter will then be made formula for measuring mass with optical fiber. Load or load mass = 0 gr, 200 gr, 400 gr, up to 10 kg with 9 turns and ¼ inch, ½ inch, 5/8 inch, ¾ inch, and 1 inch diameter hose. In this study, the results of weight measurement using an equation obtained from measuring the power loss against the load used are formed in a graph which results in the linier equation that is entered converted into a formula for finding the load which is then inputted into the android code so that it can be processed properly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
