Cakalang Fufu Fish processing system using Arduino Uno microcontroller

Abstract

The fisheries sector is one of the strategic sectors in national development. Traditional fisheries in Indonesia are relatively large, so that community economic increases. In this research, a control device for Cakalang Fufu Fish processing will be made to help businessman, especially in Manado. Usually, the business is done by the community using simple equipment with coconut shell fuel and firewood which causes environmental pollution from smoke that is used for processing and burning eyes. This system includes hardware consisting of temperature sensors, Arduino Uno servo motor microcontrollers, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), driver relay circuits and fans. While the software on this system uses C Language. The system will work based on the hot smoke generated by Cakalang Fufu Fish smoking process who detected by a temperature sensor that is inputted to the microcontroller to be displayed on the LCD. The temperatures are set in range of 80 to 100 degree C for a specified time of 60 minutes. After the time finished, the alarm/buzzer will sound to indicate that Cakalang Fufu Fish is cooked. As a motor cooler, the fan must turn on to reduce excessive heat so that the fuming is evenly distributed.
