  The development of a microcontroller-based smoked fish machine aims to
combine and automate the boiling, smoking, and drying. The machine consists of
an Arduino microcontroller, heater, spark gap igniter, stepper motor with motor
driver, temperature sensor, exhaust fan, DC converter, relay module, power
supply, and controller box. The main mechanism of the smoked fish machine is a
stepper motor that automates the process. The PID is used to optimize the
performance of controlling the machine's temperature. The machine used
galvanized steel and food-grade material to support the heating of the fish,
which helps minimize contamination and burns. The typical time of operation of
the entire process using the proposed machine is up to 60 minutes.
