Figure 1 Block Diagram for Formaldehyde Detection in Food Ingredients In this study we design a system block diagram is a set of activities that describe in detail how the system will run, designing details of the system to be made so that the system is in accordance with the requirements set in the system analysis stage. This system design aims to determine the source of input, data processing, and output carried out by the system. The components needed in the block diagram are the Arduino Uno, the HCHO sensor, relay, start button, fan button, LCD, and the LM2596 stepdown module [6], [7]. The block diagram design can be seen in Figure 1.
