Development of Smart Egg Incubator Using Arduino

Abstract

Incubator is a device used in egg incubation process. Using incubator the process of incubation can be speed up and the egg can be incubates in large quantity of scale. There are many development of egg incubator today with a controlled temperature, but the controls are usually not fully automated control not all incubators will produce a good incubation process, contributing to potential loss of hatching eggs. Thus, I have come out with a design of smart egg incubator using Arduino. Smart Incubator is designed to reduce abnormal chicks and to reduce the risk of damage eggs caused by uncertain environment. The principle of Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is used to manipulate the temperature in the incubator, then, regulated the temperature in the incubator. The measured temperature will be processed by using Arduino, which controls the overall system. This system will take 20 days to hatch eggs by controlling the heating bulb. The system is fully automated system and easy to handle. The system will control the temperature and the humidity which meet the objective of this project.
