Pelatihan dasar perancangan teknologi tepat guna berbasis mikrokontroler Arduino pada siswa SMAN 1 Parepare

Abstract

Extracurricular activities aim to enable students to develop their personality, talents, and abilities in various fields
outside the academic field, one of which is the field of appropriate technology. Based on the data obtained, there are 5 State High
Schools and 3 State Vocational Schools in Parepare City, Sulawesi Selatan and from the results of observations note that only
one of these schools still facilitates students interested in the field of electronic-based appropriate technology. SMAN 1 Parepare
is one of the model schools that cannot carry out this activity due to the unavailability of supporting resources in the field. The
solution provided through the Community Partnership Program (PKM) activities is basic training in the design of
microcontroller-based appropriate technology. The method of implementing this PKM activity is a training method which is
divided into three stages, namely theoretical training, training on the use of Arduino IDE platform software and training on
designing appropriate technology based on Arduino microcontrollers. The result of this PKM activity was to increase the
motivation of SMAN 1 Parepare students in terms of students' interests, talents, and abilities in the form of simple, appropriate
technology designs such as miniature automatic sensor-based control systems and Arduino microcontrollers.
