Abstract

The study aims to develop an Arduino-based vibration system integrated with the Phypox application as an inexpensive and portable physics learning tool. This system is designed to generate controlled mechanical vibrations and record real-time oscillation data using a smartphone accelerometer. The experimental results show that the system produces a very stable vibration frequency of approximately 49.74 Hz, supported by a very small standard deviation (SD = 0.00203 Hz). linear regression analysis between the vibration duration and the number of oscillations resulted in R2 = 0.9999997, indicating an almost perfect linear relationship. These findings are in line with previous studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of smartphone sensors for harmonic motion analysis and digital-based practical activities. The integration of Arduino and Phyphox also supports discovery-based learning, as emphasized in the Kurikulum Merdeka, by providing easily accessible experimental tools to enhance scientific skills. This research offers a practical solution for schools with limited laboratory facilities and highlights the potential for further development in the study of resonance, forced vibration, and digital signal analysis.
