Abstract
This study aims to develop a turtle nests real-time monitoring system using the Arduino Uno to measure the temperature and moisture of sand used conveniently for certain applications. Sand temperature measurement uses a DS18B20 waterproof sensor, sand moisture uses SKU:SEN0193, and air temperature and humidity using DHT22. The micro SD card module is used to store data from sensor calculations in real-time and continuously. The measuring instrument was designed to be portable and easy to use. The material used is polypropylene that has dimensions of 11x6x18 cm3. Using the regression linear analysis, there was no significant difference in temperature measurements using the DS18B20 sensor and analog thermometer and sand humidity using an SKU:SEN0193 sensor and analog humidity measuring instrument.Keywords
