Abstract

For measuring plant height, an automated system as an indicator in the growing plant has been developed in a modified micropropagation system. In agricultural sector there is some kind of work that needs monitoring, especially on corn, the monitoring will be used starts from the height measurement of plant manually or documentation physical condition from a plant using human resource. To capture and deliver the data by the farmer manually done and has to be informed quickly, then data from farmer will be deliver to The Coordinator of Farmer. There is always occurred a problem on delivering the data manually, more time are needed and the accuracy of data not good enough. Because of this case, there is needed technology that can help this kind of work, ultrasonic sensor as an electronic component are being used for the height of corn plant measurement automatically under Raspberry Pi controller. The component work are being controlled by Raspberry Pi for how the system are working and deliver the data. To deliver data from controller, Local Area Network (LAN) are used for connection on the same IP Address to another device received the data.
