RADAR DETECTOR PROTOTYPE USING ULTRASONIC PING SENSOR
Abstract
Radar technology development is needed today. Especially in the density of traditional fishing boats, because it is not uncommon to find fishermen who are lost or stranded while at sea, the need for increased monitoring of traditional fishing fleets by land authorities to support sustainable human resource extraction as well as important data in the rescue process when fishermen experience disaster at sea. In this era, a radar prototype design was made, using the PING sensor to measure the distance of objects that are assumed to be ships from a port. With this tool it is possible to detect the distance and location of surrounding objects. This radar prototype was made using the ARDUINO UNO microcontroller, this model was chosen because it has a cheap price as well as a minimalist design and has sufficient PWM output pin to support the application of this final proposal. This tool uses a PING ultrasonic sensor driven by a DC MOTOR, this sensor was chosen because it has the appropriate and adequate specifications. The results of the measurement of the object are displayed with a GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming application. This tool can be used to measure objects from a distance of 3cm - 315cm and has an error level of 0 cm - 6 cm, and ultrasonic radar can determine the object's point of view with an error level of 0â°â€“60â° due to the screen caused by two software running simultaneously.Published
