Abstract: DESAGON, MARK NIEL Q. and ENRIQUEZ, MICHAEL P. Development of An Arduino-Based Fruit Dehydrator. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Engr. Edwin R. Arboleda. The general objective of the study was to develop an Arduino-based fruit dehydrator. Specifically, it aimed to design and fabricate the fruit dehydrator. It also aimed to design and construct Arduino-based circuits. Moreover, it aimed to develop a program for the device and test and evaluate the performance of the system. Lastly, it aimed to conduct a cost computation. The design project was composed of an Arduino Nano which serves as the microcontroller unit, heat gun and microwave heater that serve as the heating elements of the dehydrator, the temperature and humidity sensor for the sensing of temperature and humidity inside the dehydrator, and the load cell for the monitoring of the present weight of the fruits being dehydrated. The microcontroller gives the output signal LCD Display. The LCD Display displays the parameters sensed by the temperature and humidity sensor and by the load cell. It also has a DC geared motor for the rotation of the tray for uniform dehydration. The unit was tested by the researchers. The project testing was done at Engineering Science (ES) Building, College of Engineering, and Information Technology (CEIT), Cavite State University (CvSU), Indang, Cavite and at Silang, Cavite. The drying rate was computed through the use of data in the evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluation, the project met the given objectives. The system was able to dehydrate the fruit inside the dehydrator. The device was also able to prove its functionality, usability, correctness, control, and reliability. Technical evaluation showed that the device was able to function correctly when a hygrometer was put inside the device and compare the output of the device and the hygrometer.
