INTRODUCTION • Cassava is food substitute for rice • Has an important role in supporting national food security • Most of the cassava for food material, industry and animal feed (Widianta & Dewi, 2008) • Lampung : No. 1 Cassava production in Indonesia (2015), 7 387 084 ton (BPS-Statistics Indonesia) • Cultivation cassava plants has impact for Lampung agroindustry and community economy.
Introduction • Cassava tuber quality measured by starch and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) content (Cuvaca, et al, 2015) • Starch content is the most important parameter in assessment of cassava tube quality at the field. • Classical method for starch analysis : iodine-iodide (quality), gravity and redox titration (Tortajada, 2018) • Gravity method or Underwater Weight Method is the easiest method for implementation at the field • Until now, there is no instrument for starch content measurement electronically for use at the field • So…our research purpose is to design the instrument for Measuring of Cassava Starch Content by Using Strain Gauge Sensor
Methods • Starch content (SC) (Sungzikaw, 2008) Specific Gravity (SG) Ma = Cassava Mass in the air (g) ; Mw = Cassava Mass in the water (g) ;
Methods Input Unit Processsor Unit Output Unit Strain gauge LCD & Laptop
Methods • HX711 as Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).The HX711 input pin is E + as power supply, E- as ground, A- and A + as sensor data input.The HX711 output pin is the GND pin as ground to Arduino, DT as digital output, SCK as digital input, and VCC as input voltage.
Methods Sensor – ADC – Arduino wiring
Methods Arduino - LCD wiring
Methods • Jack • Water bucket • Basket • Strain-gauge • HX711 • Arduino & LCD • Laptop Physic construction
Results Electronics box Basket Water Bucket Jack Instrument for cassava starch content measurement
Results 1,0 Kg samples 2,2 Kg samples
Conclusions • Strain-gauge sensor can be applied to cassava starch content measurement instrument using Arduino as processor. • The percentage of error produced by the instrument is less than 2%.
