Rancang Bangun Prototipe Alat Angkut Helikompter Berbasis Arduino

Abstract

The development of ground support equipment in the aviation world is increasingly advanced and cannot be separated from various problems in its operation on helicopters. Ground support is a supporting tool needed to help the performance of helicopters when aircraft maintenance is carried out in the work area within the airport or while in the hangar. Some obstacles to ground support faced include holding the load, maintaining the balance of the helicopter during the towing / pushback process, in the event that the air traffic guide will delay the towing / pushback process to cross the runway to overcome this problem, the prototype of Arduino transport equipment was designed as the main controller which is controlled by an Android smartphone via a Bluetooth connection. The prototype was designed using two DC motors that function as movers and steering so that they can move forward, backward, turn and stop.from the results of testing the prototype, the maximum PWM speed conditions required are 255, the input voltage on both DC motors is 7.32 Volt will produce a 76.8 RPM rotation on motor 1 and produce a 76.4 RPM rotation on the motor 2. At speed conditions minimum PWM required is 90, then the input voltage on both DC motors is 5.77 Volt will produce 63.9 RPM rotation on motors 1 and 64.1 RPM on motor 2.
