The traditional tape fermentation process is still carried out manually without adequate temperature control and gas monitoring, resulting in inconsistent fermentation quality. To address these issues, a prototype tape fermentation device based on an Arduino Uno was developed, equipped with an automatic temperature and humidity control system and a gas sensor. The Arduino Uno functions as a control center that processes data from the DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor and the MQ-2 gas sensor. When the temperature or humidity drops below the specified limit, the system automatically activates the heater and humidifier, indicated by the indicator LED lights. Fermentation activity is detected by the MQ-2 sensor, which recognizes the fermentation gases, namely ethanol and carbon dioxide (CO₂). When these gases are detected at certain concentrations, the RGB LED lights up as a visual indicator that fermentation is active. The sensor data is processed by the Arduino and displayed in real time through a digital interface, allowing users to monitor the fermentation directly. Test results show that this device is able to maintain a stable fermentation environment and provide accurate information regarding fermentation activity. This prototype is expected to improve the efficiency, safety, and quality of modern tape production and provide a practical solution for home producers and small industries.
