Abstract: GONZALES, ALBERT JOHN G. and SOSA, JOHN ANTHONY D., Design and Development of an Arduino-Based Rice and Corn Dryer. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. January 2020. Adviser: Engr. Nemilyn A. Fadchar. A design project was conducted to develop an Arduino-based rice and corn dryer. Specifically, it aimed to design and construct a drying bin that can accommodate 25 kg and capable of switching its airflow automatically; develop a program for the system; integrate a graphical user interface to the device; test and evaluate the system; and conduct cost computation of the study. The Arduino-based rice and corn dryer is composed of three main parts: the drying chamber holds the crops; the control unit consists most of the electronic circuits; and the aeration system which consist of the flapper that change the airflow, and the heater that provides heated air. It was evaluated using rice and corn at different weight of 25kg, 15kg, and 12kg Results of the evaluation showed that the system is functional. The system automatically switches the direction of the airflow when the designated switching time was reached. The temperature and humidity was displayed and then logged into the micro-SD card. When the timer reached zero, the drying would automatically stop, and the buzzer goes Off to alert the user. The crop can be drained from the drying chamber by pressing a button on the LCD display. Moreover, results showed that 12kg for both rice and corn has the highest moisture content reduction rate. The total cost of the Arduino-based rice and corn dryer is P22, 175.25. Cost analysis indicated a breakeven point of 407.92 kg per year and a payback period of 2 1/2 months for the dryer. Moreover, the device can generate an estimated net income of Php105,651 per year.
