Automation of The Palembang Semage Fabric Yarn Spinner

Abstract

Songket weaving craft of Palembang City has been the center of the easy ikat weaving craft since ancient times and has become the hallmark of the city of Palembang. Currently the production process used by the songket weaving craft is still very simple, most of the work process in making this woven fabric is done manually. This causes the production process to take a relatively long time compared to the manufacture of fabrics in general. The yarn spinning device is modified in such a way that the yarn spinner can work with the help of electronic components. The yarn spinner is given a DC motor which has previously been programmed using the L298N Motor Driver so that it can rotate as needed and is connected to the Node MCU ESP8266 module so that it can be connected to an Android Smartphone which is used as a remote control to run the yarn spinning device. The ESP8266 Node MCU functions as a command provider for each component, the Gearbox DC Motor functions as the main driver for the coils, the L298N Motor Driver functions as a DC Motor controller, and the MG966R Servo Motor functions as a thread guide to the left and right so that the results of the thread roll look neat. The results of testing how many spools of yarn are in a fast IoT state in a period of 5-60 minutes at a time of 60 minutes get very fast results compared to manual.
