Sistem Kontrol Telemetri Banjir di Kelurahan Belian Batam

Purpose: The design of this flood telemetry control system aims to determine the water level in the drainage and provide warnings of potential flooding to the public with direct notifications to applications running on Android smartphones and to reduce the impact of flooding, a flood detection system tool was built using sensors that connected to a microcontroller that will detect the water level. Methodology: The design of this tool uses 3 (three) sources of information that are installed separately far apart, namely locations A, B, and C connected via the internet network and provide information in the form of monitoring, direct warnings to applications installed on Android Smart Phones. Result: The results of testing this tool work well. And can find out the water level when the rainy season arrives in the environment around the residence from a distance. This tool provides notifications with a delay of about ± 1000ms or 1 second at the smartphone internet access speed to the teleduino webserver or vice versa ± 142ms.

Analisa Campuran CPHMA terhadap Penambahan Variasi Aspal Penetrasi 60/70 pada Karakteristik Marshall

Purpose: Highways are one of the main infrastructures in the country's development. On remote and outermost islands there are access barriers to asphalt pavement units (amps). The application of CPHMA (Cold Paving Hot Mix Asbuton) technology is one of the main options to overcome this problem. Methodology: The test showed that asphalt content from 0.5% to 2.0% improved stability and met flow requirements, while 2.5% exceeded flow limits and reduced stability. Result: The test results for other Marshal characteristics namely MQ, VFB, VIM, and VMA meet the specifications used. At the addition of asphalt content of 0.5% - 2.5%, the values of MQ, VFB, and VMA increased along with the increase in the addition of asphalt content. On the other hand, the VIM value decreased with increasing asphalt content. From the test results, it is known that the optimum penetration value of asphalt 60/70 is 1.25%. Conclusion: Adding 60/70 penetration asphalt at 0.5%–2.0% improves Marshall characteristics, with an optimal content of 1.25%. Limitation: Tests were limited to laboratory conditions and did not reflect actual traffic performance. Contribution: This study provides practical recommendations for enhancing CPHMA performance using 60/70 asphalt

Analisis Rancangan Antena Telemetri Jenis Dipole pada Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

Purpose: This study focuses on the design and evaluation of dipole antennas for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operating at a frequency of 433 MHz. The aim is to develop small and lightweight antennas that do not compromise the aerodynamic characteristics of UAVs, ensuring effective communication between the UAV and the Ground Control Station (GCS). Methodology: The research employed CST software to design and simulate dipole antennas using various materials, including copper, gold, silver, aluminum, and iron. The simulation parameters were analyzed in terms of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) values and return loss. Results: The simulation results revealed that the silver antenna material exhibited the best performance, with a VSWR value of 1.3191 and a return loss of -17.222 dB. However, during the fabrication stage, copper was chosen for the antennas, which yielded a VSWR measurement result of 1.427 and a return loss value of -15.09 dB. Subsequent testing of the dipole antenna's communication distance, when placed on a UAV, resulted in a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of -70.68 dBm. This indicated that the antenna maintained a signal quality of 96% at a distance of 2.5 km. Limitation: One limitation of this study is that it primarily focuses on simulations and testing at a specific frequency (433 MHz) and material selection (copper for fabrication). The results may not be directly applicable to different frequencies or materials used in UAV antennas. Additionally, real-world conditions, such as environmental interference, could affect the performance of the antennas. Contribution:This research contributes to the development of efficient and lightweight dipole antennas for UAVs, ensuring reliable communication with GCS. The findings, particularly the choice of copper for fabrication, provide valuable insights for improving UAV communication systems without compromising flight performance.

Perancangan Antena Helix Frekuensi 433 MHz Pita Lebar

Purpose: This research focuses on the design and analysis of a helix antenna operating at 433 MHz with a 4 MHz bandwidth. This study aims to investigate the antenna's performance and functionality with a focus on reception capabilities. Methodology: The research was conducted in two stages. First, the helix antenna was simulated based on predetermined parameters. The simulation process produced values such as return loss, VSWR, impedance, and gain. Afterward, the antenna was fabricated and tested using a Vector Network Analyzer (6000A) to verify the simulated values. The key measured parameters included return loss (-19.8866 dB), VSWR (1.22547), and impedance (46.5695 Ohms). A 1000 mW telemetry radio module was used as the transmission source during field testing. Results: The helix antenna showed a directional radiation pattern with a simulated gain of 9.231 dB. Field testing confirmed the antenna's functionality as a receiver, achieving a maximum transmission distance of 2.6 km. Signal strength was measured using the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). However, the data quality was not optimal due to environmental obstructions. Conclusion: There was minimal shift between simulated and measured parameters. However, the antenna's real-world performance was affected by interference and non-ideal outdoor conditions. Limitations: Testing was conducted in areas with suboptimal line-of-sight conditions, which impacted signal strength and introduced interference. Contribution: This study enhances the understanding of helix antennas for receiver applications at 433 MHz and provides valuable insights into performance under practical conditions.

Purpose: To determine the regulation of the rotation speed of a DC motor using an NE 555 type IC and by providing a stable voltage with the same working frequency but varying DC motor speed control pulse cycles. Methodology: This research method includes several stages, the stages in the research are as follows: The data required is the specifications of each component and the specifications of the hardware design to be made. The selection of tools and materials used must be in accordance with what is expected for setting and controlling the speed of a DC motor Result: The effect of the armature current (Ia) on the rotation speed of the motor is directly proportional; that is, the greater the rotation speed of the series self-amplifying DC motor. Conclusion: DC motor speed increases with Va and Ia. IC NE555 enables simple, affordable PWM control, though manual potentiometer adjustment lacks precision. Limitations: Dependence on specific ICs: Focusing on the use of the NE 555 IC may limit the understanding of other alternatives that may be more suitable or efficient for certain applications. This article could be better if it includes a comparison with other available methods or ICs. Contribution: This study can provide practical insight into how to implement DC motor speed adjustment in various applications, such as in the fields of automation, robotics, and other small control systems. This may help readers who wish to apply the techniques taught in their projects.
