Description
Summary:A safe and healthy environment is important for human and other living creatures to continue their life without having any troubles or diseases. However, with current technology, several productions and services give a negative impact on surrounding in term of pollutions and damages. Thus, an environmental monitoring is needed to reduce the excessive effects on the environment. Several ways can be used in monitoring the environment depending on the necessary measurement. However, each of the options has their own limitation. In this thesis, a sensor measuring module was invented for measuring the ambient temperature, humidity and gas (LPG, CO and CH4) concentration. The module is equipped with a microcontroller, a wireless transmitter and several type of sensors to obtain the data measurement from surrounding. The module was designed with a casing as a payload on the drone and fly over the area that inaccessible for human being. The data transmitted from the module to a computer by the wireless transmitter and a graphical user interface was developed for data presentation and analysis.
