Modification of Drivetrain and Control System Plastic Mulch Hole Puncher Vehicle
Abstract
A mechanical mulching becoming popular due to the shortage of labor [1]. Plastic Mulch Hole Puncher Vehicle have been developed from research about Design of a Remote Control System as a Semi-Automatic Plastic Mulch Hole Puncher [2] and Automatic Pest Spraying Vehicle Frame Design [3]. The drivetrain that has been developed uses 4 wheels so it can slip if it encounters muddy terrain. In this research, we modified the drivetrain like a tank so that the vehicle can move in all situations. In previous research, the control system used was Fly Sky Remote Control and Arduino MEGA to control the Plastic Mulch Hole Puncher. In this research, we modified the remote and controller using a pair of microcontroller and radio frequency modules. For the drivetrain, the method used in this research is a modification using a pair of chains with metal plates welded to each outer link and 4 sprocket for the left and right sides. The chains and sprockets used are for motorbikes, and the metal plates using ST37 with dimensions 60 x 15 x 3 mm. For the control system, the method used in this research is to combine data reception from the transmitter and actuator movement with Arduino UNO and nRF24L01 module. In vehicle, 11 Digital Pins of Arduino UNO connected to: nRF24L01 via adapter module, 2 BTS 7960 motor driver that connect to power windows motor for automotive use, and 2 relay module to drive 2 pneumatic DCV (Direct Control Valve) that connected with Mulch Hole Puncher. In transmitter, 7 Digital Pins of Arduino UNO connected to: nRF24L01 via adapter module and 2 push button for activated pneumatic DCV /Mulch Hole Puncher, meanwhile 2 Analog Pins connected to joystick for control vehicle movement (froward/backward, turn left/right). The results of this research, the vehicle can be driven using a new drivetrain and controlled by Arduino UNO and nRF24L01 using radio frequency.
