Design of an Egg Incubator for Various Birds Using PID Controller

Abstract

Modern day incubators need precise and precise temperature monitoring for optimal performance and output. The operating temperature range of conventional incubators lies within 92-102°F. Hence, the work presented here involves the design of an astute automated incubator system with a digital readout exhibit, which is capable of perpetually monitoring and maintaining the operating temperature (37-38°C) utilizing an automatic switching technique. In retrospect, the work takes a panoramic and synoptic view of the history of incubator systems. It determinately moves ahead to present a hardware system as well as an attendant software driver derived for a microcontroller predicated egg incubator system.

In this project, the light heater is use to give the opportune temperature to the eggs. By utilizing the dihydrogen monoxide and controlling fan, it is can ascertain the sultriness and ventilation in good condition. The status condition in the keenly intellective egg incubator system will appear on the LCD screen exhibit. To ascertain all part of egg was heated by lamp, DC motor is very subsidiary to rotate iron rode at the bottom side and automatically transmute the position of egg.
