Starting from electronic devices at home, in the office, and in school. The existence of electronic devices is so important then the necessary human resources who can design, realize, and operate the electronic devices it’s also important. We often have difficulty when dealing with the reality to realize something electronic equipment, mailto:riyu.choirul57@gmail.com THE SPIRIT OF SOCIETY JOURNAL International Journal of Society Development and Engagement Volume 1 Number 1 2017 ISSN : 2597-4777 (Online) – ISSN : 2597-4742 (Print) This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution- ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Basic Arduino Programming Training For High School Students Aan Darmawan, Ratnadewi, Erwani Merry Sartika, Novie Theresia Br. Pasaribu, Riko Arlando 75 to control other desired electronics components so that "Community Service Program" conducted by Prodi Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Maranatha Christian University of Bandung is aimed at improving knowledge, increase interest, ability to work together, increase creativity and increase the fighting ability of SMAK 4 Penabur Jakarta students and SMAK Penabur Tasikmalaya on the operation and design of electronic devices, in the form of arduino programming training held for 2 days (Thursday and Friday) on 5 and 6 October 2017 at Mechatronics Laboratory of Electrical Engineering Program of Maranatha Christian University with a target of 30 people. This activity continues with other high schools with different schedules according to the agreements and disagreements of each school. Heri Andrianto and Aan Darmawan in their book of Arduino[1] said that Arduino is an open source electronic kit specifically designed as a controller that regulates the workings of other electronic circuits, to facilitate the users either technicians, designers, and anyone interested in creating objects or developing electronic devices which can interact with a variety of sensors and electrical equipment. In the devotion to the community used Arduino Uno which can be seen in Figure 1 Figure 1. Arduino Uno The number of electronic devices shows one of the improvements in technology and the progress of a society. Technology improvement affect people's lifestyles, change in human lifestyles, and their influence in the socio-cultural field.

Basic Arduino Programming Training For High School Students Aan Darmawan, Ratnadewi, Erwani Merry Sartika, Novie Theresia Br. Pasaribu, Riko Arlando 76 Technology improvement have negative and positive impacts that can be overcome by synergizing the roles of family, education, community, and country have been exposed by Muhamad Ngafifi[2]. Improvement of education in the form of creativity development through handicraft has been done by Budi Purwantiningsih and M. Rasikhul Islam [3] in the foster children of Al-Amin Geluran Taman Sidoarjo. In this training, foster children are given skills training to make handicraft from materials available for their life. According to Mamat Supriatna [4], the concept of life skills is learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together is important things that need to be given to education METHOD The method used in community service is done using Participatory Action Research (PAR). PAR has three main pillars, namely research methodology, action dimension, and the dimension of participation. That is, PAR is implemented with reference to a particular research methodology, should aim to encourage transformative action, and should involve as many citizens or community members as the implementers of the PAR themselves. On community service here PAR is implemented: 1. Lecture method to describe the material that has been prepared by the team of dedication to the community. 2. Practical method of Arduino programming and assembling electronics components connected with Arduino. 3. Mentoring methods when students work on programming and assembling electronic components. 4. Methods of discussion in the form of cooperation between groups to solve the case given.

Basic Arduino Programming Training For High School Students Aan Darmawan, Ratnadewi, Erwani Merry Sartika, Novie Theresia Br. Pasaribu, Riko Arlando 77 The results of this training can be a provision for high school students in the form of programming skills, the ability to assemble electronic components, the ability to work with groups to solve existing problems, and increase confidence in operating electronic devices. On community service here PAR is implemented: 1. Lecture method to describe the material that has been prepared by the team of dedication to the community. Material given in the form of explanations of electrical principles, formulas on calculation of electrical circuits, electrical terms and quantities, how to read resistor components, introduction of electrical circuit components such as led and switch, Arduino explanation starts from arduino history, Arduino types , and the use of Arduino IDE software. 2. Practical method of Arduino programming and assembling electronics components connected with Arduino. In this activity high school students are guided directly by faculty and assistant lecturers and students to assemble electronic components to fit the circuit scheme, and also guided to program the Arduino device in order to control the circuit of the electronics. The drawing of the electronic circuit can be seen in Figure 2. Participants learning to program with the IDE Arduino software can be seen in Figure 3. Figure 2.

In this assistance 4 students are accompanied by one teacher / assistant so that every activity well monitored and directed as in Figure 4. Figure 4. Assistance by teachers / assistant lecturers and students 4. Methods of discussion in the form of cooperation between groups to solve the case given. Participants are given cases to control on the basis of material already taught. Here the participants work together with their group to solve the existing cases. Group cooperation can be seen in Figure 5.

In part of participants of PKM Arduino activity Questionnaires to get feedback on the results of PKM activities are distributed to participants and answers to questions given are grouped into four categories: 1. Very good, 2, Good, 3 Good enough, 4. Less. From the result of questionnaire filled by participants of PKM Arduino obtained input that is: the material given 100% replied "Very good", assessment of the teacher who delivered the material 82% answered "Very good" and 18% answered "Good". Assessment of the assistant lecturers and students who guided the practice 100% answered "Excellent". CONCLUSION Participants are very interested if the prodi re-organizes the PKM with different materials, it indicates that the PKM runs well and improves students' ability to understand the material electronics and Arduino well. After the PKM program is expected the students can learn more and can provide the basis of their ability to take part in the community so that the ability and independence of the Indonesian nation can be better again.
