Abstract
The research about a design of prototype automatic pineapple sorting has been done with a belt conveyor system using a Blue Pill STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller. This research was conducted to create a prototype that can sort pineapples based on maturity level by classified unripe, ripe, and fully ripe. Sorting pineapple against the pineapple ripeness classification was carried out by a simulation process using serial data of index maturity sent from the PC monitor serial to microcontroller via serial communication. The serial data sent in character format was an integer 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; and 7. The conveyor using a chain with gear transmission system and a DC motor as a drive. The results showed that the instument is capable of carrying a maximum load of pineapple fruit of 1.0 kg with a transport speed of 27,98 cm/s and can perform pineapple ripeness sorting with an accuracy more than 90%.

Summary
Sektor pertanian merupakan sektor yang mempunyai peranan strategis dalam struktur pembangunan perekonomian nasional, salah satunya adalah tanaman hortikultura (Kementerian Pertanian, 2015). Alat pemilah buah yang banyak digunakan adalah pemilahan dengan sistem konveyor. Pemilahan dengan sistem konveyor di industri sangat efisien dalam proses pemindahan ataupun pengangkutan barang, baik barang yang sudah jadi maupun barang yang akan diproses di bagian lain (Tamam dkk., 2018). PT Great Giant Pineapple (GGP) yang merupakan pelopor perusahaan produsen nanas pertama Indonesia melakukan proses pemilahan buah secara semi-otomatis yaitu hanya dilakukan pemilahan berdasarkan ukuran buah, sedangkan pemilahan kematangan nanas masih dilakukan secara manual berdasarkan pengamatan oleh pekerja terhadap warna kulit nanas. Untuk mempermudah proses pemilahan tingkat kematangan nanas diperlukan suatu sistem intrumentasi yang dapat memilah nanas secara otomatis. Pemilahan nanas berdasarkan hasil klasifikasi tingkat kematangan yang dikirimkan oleh PC melalui port serial dalam format karakter berupa bilangan bulat 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, dan 7 digunakan sebagai instruksi untuk menggerakkan motor stepper
