Short Message Service Fish Notification Microcontroller System as an Alternative Tool for Income Generation Fisherman

The problems faced by fishermen are uncertain fish catches. This is due to uncertain weather so that fishers cannot go to sea. The purpose of this study is to make an alternative catching device for Short Message Service based fishers who function as an effective and efficient alternative fishing tool placed on the coast and an alternative income for fishers. Fads are made consisting of a collection of Bamboo and seaweed found on the coast of the coast or called Bagan or Rumpon. While the tools used to make RA microcontroller devices are Fish Finder, Intel Galileo / Arduino, Global System for Mobile Communications modules, solar cells, sensors, batteries. With the application of RA microcontrollers so that charts located on the coast work effectively and efficiently with Short Massage Service notifications so that fishermen do not need always to see whether the chart is full or not enough just waiting for Short Message Service notifications so they can reduce costs by up to 50% in fuel usage for checking chart and efforts to increase revenue 30 - 50%. The expected that later RA Microcontroller could be made into products that are value added for fishers and increase fishermen's income.
