Radio Altimeter (Radalt) Simulator on Aircraft using Arduino UNO

Abstract

This research proposes the architecture simulation radio altimeter (radalt) on aircraft using the Arduino UNO. This research is a method of experimentation through the process of designing the software and hardware configuration, components, implementation tools and the evaluation of the test results of simulation of the radio altimeter (radalt) on aircraft using the Arduino UNO. On the design of the simulation tool is the main set of 6 blocks. Arduino Uno as a microcontroller to process input from the sensors and results will be displayed on the display panel that contains the 16x6 LCD, LED, and Buzzer. Meanwhile, dc motor and servo motor used for the mechanism of the movement of the model plane. The results of the research of the LCD will show the distance indicating system goes according to the design.
