Abstract

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an essential tool in land surveying. GPS has become an alternative method of surveying that requires less manpower and less time. However, GPS devices are still expensive to buy, especially for students. On the other hand, almost every student has a smartphone with a built-in GPS sensor, so this GPS is certainly accessible to everyone with a smartphone. This study used a smartphone's GPS to conduct land surveying at the campus of Bengkulu University. This smartphone’s GPS was used to track various parameters such as coordinates, elevation, and distance between two or more points to calculate the area within the study area. The innovative method of using the built-in GPS sensor in smartphones will provide convenience for users and introduce simplified open-source software for the land measurement process. The measurement was calibrated using a conventional roll meter to verify the linear error by comparing the two measurements between the smartphone’s GPS and roll meter. The smartphone’s GPS reading was logged using GPS Waypoints and My Tracks, free Android applications on the Google Play store. This study's average error in measurements obtained using GPS on smartphones was 3.02%. This value is sufficient for the initial stage of low-cost land surveys and falls within ideal conditions for GPS measurements. Therefore, this article emphasizes the potential of smartphone GPS to optimize techniques in education and scientific investigations.

Abstract

Keeping an interaction distance between 1 to 2 m is one of the health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. This attempt was made to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. On the other hand, this health protocol activity is often overlooked, whether intentionally or not. According to the mechanism of the Coronavirus spreading in the form of droplets that comes out during communication, sneezing, or coughing, maintaining distance can be the best effort to minimize the transmission of this virus. Therefore, the availability of a simple, accurate and user-friendly physical distancing alarm system could be a solution in the implementation of this health protocol. In this study, a prototype of a physical distancing alarm based on a distance sensor and a microcontroller in the form of an identity card was developed. Several steps are conducted in developing of this system, namely designing the instrumentation system and testing the performance of the system. System performance is tested through variations in the distance and angle of the objects. The measurement results show that the system can detect objects in front of the sensor up to a distance of 2.8m and an angle of  for a distance of 1m. The measurement using different angles of objects was performed for objects on the left and right sides of the sensor. In addition, a warning alarm will be on when the distance of the object exceeds the allowed distance.

Abstract

In utilizing various alternative energy, generators are used to convert alternative energy into electrical energy, for example, biomass, wind, and hydroelectricity. Generally, the measurements made on the generators are rotational speed measurements in the form of revolutions per minute (RPM). In developing lab-scale alternative power sources, the availability of generators with complete quality and specifications is still minimal, including RPM capacity. Therefore, the measurement which can read the RPM accurately, digitally, and automatically is needed. However, the measurement tools available are still manual, not automatic, and prone to parallax errors. Hence, a digital and automatic RPM measurement was developed in this study. Two different sensors were used to develop digital RPM based on a microcontroller. The stages obtained started with electronic system development, calibration, and testing of lab-scale renewable energy systems. The measurement can be read from the infrared and optocoupler sensors on the Archimedes turbine. The measurement results showed that the use of the Optocoupler sensor is more accurate than the infrared sensor. This is based on the data obtained from calibration and testing results on the Archimedes turbine. This RPM measurement is digital and real-time.
