Implementation of Fuzzy Logic on Microcontroller for Quails Coop Temperature Control

Abstract

Quail (cortunix cortunix japonica) is a type of poultry that is quite popular for its eggs and meat as an alternative protein source. However, for tropical climates such as Indonesia, there are challenges faced by quail farmers, namely heat stress. One way that can be a solution to deal with these challenges is to regulate the room temperature in the quail cage. This study aims to design an automatic temperature control system for quail cages using a microcontroller embedded with a fuzzy algorithm to determine the action to be taken to adjust the temperature and humidity of the air in the quail cage. The prototype developed in this research is tested by comparing the output simulation of the microcontroller with the simulation performed using Matlab software.
