Abstract:
The purpose of this project is to create a micro-controller based
egg incubator system which is able to automatically maintain the
environment which is optimum for egg growth. The system has a
temperature sensor which is able to monitor the temperature inside and
outside the incubator and this data is sent to a microcontroller. The
microcontroller, with the help of relays controls an incandescent lamp
and a blowing fan to maintain the egg temperature from 37 to 38.5°C.
In addition, an LCD display is used to display the temperature
inside and outside the incubator. The microcontroller also has a userprogrammed
timer to control a gear motor for rotating the egg-holder.
