An improved performance of x-ray machine prototype with wireless ma control system based on microcontroller

The current (mA) control is necessary to controlling the number of electrons and x-ray intensity at x-ray machine. Radiographers are likewise impacted by the presence of high radiation levels. This study aimed to improve performance the x-ray machine with wireless mA control system prototype. One of the important benefits of the proposed study is the simplicity to controlling intensity of x-ray based on wireless mA control system. This research method uses rheostat as current selection (mA). The current settings that can be selected are 20 mA, 30 mA, 40 mA, 50 mA and 60 mA, which can be done manually and via the mobile phone (cellphone) connected to this device via wireless using Wemos D1Mini. Tool testing is carried out by comparing the results of measuring the output voltage of the filament transformer using AVOmeter with the results of voltage calculation through formula analysis. In addition, tests are carried out for the distance of the tool control connection in the presence of obstacles and no obstacles. Based on the test results obtained, it is known that the smallest correction value is 0,01 VAC for the mA option of 30 mA. The x-ray device can be controlled wirelessly using Android up to a distance of 20 meters with a 14 cm thick wall obstructed condition.
