Sistem Kendali Pemberian Pakan Ayam Broiler Otomatis Berbasis Mikrokontroler

Abstract

ABSTRACT ; A control system is a system that produces a certain value as its output through
controlling or changing the provisions of the system input. Feeding is an important
element in determining the level of broiler production. Likewise, there is one farmer
in Bilungala Village, Bone Pantai Subdistrict producing broiler chickens. Feeding
chickens can be made easier by using a mechanical device controlled by equipment.
This system uses a microcontroller connected to an Arduino and a timer for feeding
chickens with a Real-Time Clock (RTC). This automatic tool has two parts, namely,
the main container serves as a place to store food reserves and the second container
as a place to feed the chickens. The Real-Time Clock functions to regulate the
feeding hours of broilers. A Solenoid Valve functions as a faucet for feeding the
broilers carried out from 07.00 through 17.00. It is for the morning, noon, and
evening feedings regulated by the Real-Time Clock (RTC).
