The process of making red ginger powder utilizes an evaporation process with rock sugar as a crystallization agent to help the crystallization process. The raw material is red ginger as the main material, both fresh and pulp. Then, the variables during the study were operating temperature (80 and 90<sup>o</sup>C) and sugar content (60 and 100%). The parameters analyzed were total carotenoids and total sugar in the red ginger powder samples. The results of the total carotenoid analysis showed that the treatment of red ginger with a temperature of 90<sup>o</sup>C and 60% rock sugar content provided optimum conditions both in terms of fresh raw materials and pulp. This result was also achieved in red ginger powder and ready-to-consume beverage products, which ranged from 11.70 to 16.23%. Furthermore, the best total glucose analysis results were at the same temperature as the highest carotenoid values. Meanwhile, the highest sugar content (100%) was able to provide higher total glucose than the 60% contribution of rock sugar in both raw material conditions and the form of processed red ginger products.</p> Rachma Nisa Nuramalia Dessy Agustina Sari ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-03-27 2024-03-27 12 1 1 7 10.35447/jitekh.v12i1.829 Implementasi Node Bridge Untuk Meningkatkan Komunikasi Multi-Node Modul NRF24L01 Pada NLOS https://jurnal.harapan.ac.id/index.php/Jitekh/article/view/896 <p>Multi-node communication is an important aspect in wireless system development, especially in the context of non-line of sight communications. In this study, we explore the implementation of multi-node communication with bridge nodes to increase distance and reduce packet loss in the NRF24L01 transceiver module. The aim of writing this manuscript is to evaluate the effectiveness of using bridge nodes in improving the quality of multi-node communications on the NRF24L01 module in non-line of sight conditions. This study was carried out through a series of multi-node communication tests with certain configurations, including maximum power usage, 250kbps bit rate, and 5dBi antenna. Tests were carried out at different distances with and without the use of bridge nodes to compare communication performance. Our findings show that a configuration with three client nodes and an NRF24L01 module equipped with a 5dBi antenna is capable of achieving the longest distance of up to 125 m. In non-line of sight conditions, the packet loss rate at a distance of 25-75 m has very good communication quality, with packet loss values ranging from 0-6%. However, at a distance of 100 m, the packet loss percentage exceeds the threshold (15%). The use of bridge nodes succeeded in significantly reducing the packet loss rate, reducing the percentage of packet loss at client nodes C1, C2, and C3 to 6.00%, 6.67%, and 6.33% respectively. Thus, implementing the bridge node has proven effective in improving the quality of communication on the NRF24L01 module in non-line of sight conditions.</p> Abdi Purwanto Redi Ratiandi Yacoub Neilcy Tjahjamooniarsih ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-03-30 2024-03-30 12 1 8 15 10.35447/jitekh.v12i1.896 Rancang Bangun Sistem Kendali dan Pemantauan Ketinggian Air Pada Panci Penguapan Terbuka Berbasis Website https://jurnal.harapan.ac.id/index.php/Jitekh/article/view/910 <p>During the dry season, the water evaporation process experiences a significant increase resulting in a rapid decrease in water volume. Conversely, during the rainy season, the open evaporation pan can quickly fill up with rainwater, often causing overflow that disrupts the evaporation measurement process, thus requiring manual intervention to drain or refill the evaporation pan. One proposed solution to address this issue is by implementing an automatic water control system, water temperature monitoring, and water level measurement. The system design consists of two main aspects, namely hardware and software design. Hardware design involves creating a system block diagram and electronic circuit schematic diagrams. Meanwhile, software design includes program and WEB interface design. This research method involves the use of JSN-SR04T ultrasonic sensor, DS18B20 temperature sensor along with ESP32 DevKitC V4 device. Based on the test results, the ultrasonic sensor showed the highest error value of 19.38% with an average error percentage of 4.62% from 55 test runs. Meanwhile, the highest error value on the temperature sensor reached 3.46%, with an average error percentage of 1.46%. Sensor readings, pump status, and solenoid valve status are displayed in real-time on an LCD and Thinger.io dashboard.</p> Fredericus Dandani Dolf F.
