DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A RASPBERRY PI-BASED CONTROL AND PROGRAMMING SYSTEM TRAINER BOARD AS A LEARNING MEDIA AT AVIATION POLYTECHNIC OF SURABAYA

Abstract

The importance of direct involvement in learning lies in its ability to enhance deeper and more relevant understanding. Teaching is not just about conveying facts and information to students but also about creating a learning environment that allows students to actively engage in their own learning process (learning by doing). In relation to this, this research aims to develop a Control System and Programming Trainer Board based on Raspberry Pi as a learning medium at Surabaya Aviation Polytechnic. This trainer board uses a Raspberry Pi microcontroller with sensors including ultrasonic, gas, temperature and humidity, LDR, and PIR sensors. In addition to sensors, there are actuators as outputs, namely a buzzer, LED, bulb, servo motor, and I2C LCD. A monitor, mouse, and keyboard are supporting devices in the program processing. This can facilitate cadets in understanding the courses on control systems and programming. The implementation of this Raspberry Pi-based trainer board is expected to make it easy for cadets at Surabaya Aviation Polytechnic to learn and understand the basic concepts and practical applications of control systems and programming. By using the Raspberry Pi platform, cadets can easily access various sensor and actuator modules and practice programming directly. This not only enhances their technical skills but also deepens their understanding of how electronic components work together in an integrated system. Additionally, this trainer board is designed to offer an interactive and immersive learning experience, motivating cadets to be more active in exploring aviation technology.
