SISTEM PENGUKURAN KADAR AIR DAN KADAR GULA PADA GULA AREN BERBASIS MIKROKONTROLER

Abstract

This measurement system aims to contain information about the moisture content and sugar content contained in palm sugar with an accuracy above 90%. This measurement system is designed to measure the parameters of water content and sugar content in the palm sugar industry in general and the local palm sugar industry located in the Prima Griya Panakukang Block A/6 Complex, Antang, Makassar. The method used is experimental method, the measurement system made is tested by comparing laboratory test results with measurement results using the same sample. The measurement system made can contain information about water content and sugar content which is integrated into one measurement tool. Based on the test results, the measurement system made has an accuracy above 90%, namely 99.98% for water content and 99.87% for sugar content without going through complicated procedures, making it easier for users to use this tool. Keywords: Palm Sugar, Soil Moisture Sensor, Microcontroller, TCS 3200 Sensor and Accuracy
