Design of weight grader for pineapple

There are five types of pineapple in Malaysia which are Sarawak, Josapine, Morris, Gandol and N36. Each type of pineapple can be classified according to their weight classification such as S, M and L based on weight range set by Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (FAMA). The main objective of t...

In the design, we use Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) microcontroller to process the input from electromechanical load cell and compute the weight and grade of the pineapple.
