Description
Summary:The purpose of this project is to design and develop the system of an egg incubator that able to incubate various type of egg named as Smart Egg Incubator System for Various Types of Egg (SEIS). The SEIS will fill up with the temperature and humidity sensor that can measure the condition of the incubator and automatically change to the suitable condition for the egg. The health of egg is very important for the development of embryo within the egg. Improper control means that the temperature or humidity is too high or too low. In this project, the light heater is use to give the suitable temperature to the egg. By using the water and controlling fan, it is can make sure the humidity and ventilation in good condition. The status condition in the SIES will appear on the LCD screen display. To make sure all part of egg was heated by lamp, DC motor is very useful to rotate iron rode at the bottom side and automatically change the position of egg. The entire element will be controlled using programmable integrated circuit (PIC). The PIC is a type of microcontroller that can process a data from sensor and will execute the control element to change the condition of SEIS. This project will be a user friendly product since the SEIS can move to other place. It will secure by user must enter the password before activate the system.
