Digital Temperature Controller Fahrenheit LCD Display Plastic Circuit Diagram An incubator is used in biology to grow bacteria or yeast for example. It is a pricey equipment for no reason. Luckily we can make one for very cheap (under $20 US). This simple project uses a light to increase the temperature inside a Styrofoam enclosure. The temperature is monitored via a DS18B20 sensor that is connected to an Arduino UNO.
The temperature controller is based around a digital temperature controller and has a dual output of either 240v or 12v this is so i can run my incubator and my wood kiln from the same box. You will need: Materials: 1 - polystyrene box of at least 450mm x 350mm 2 - 185mm x 245mm x 20mm MDF 2- 65 x 245 x 20mm MDF (although I used 16mm)
Temperature Controller For Homemade Incubator Circuit Diagram
A standard relay driver can be seen below, wherein the base of the transistor may be connected with pin#6 of the opamp 741 for the required incubator temperature control. The Relay Driver Stage for Switching the Heater Element Incubator Temperature Controller Thermostat with LED Indicator
They are also used as a substitute for the poultry chickens which often leads to a high rate of explosion because of the ability to control the major factor. i.e. Temperature. The simplest incubator cased in the insulated box contains an adjustable heater, typically occurs 60 to 65o C (140 to 150o F) and some others with typically higher
Incubator Using Arduino with Automatic Temperature and Humidity control Circuit Diagram
This my second incubator build. The first used a homemade thermostat, this one used a PID controller that I had built to govern the temperature on an electric smoker. Last night I set a dozen eggs of all shapes and sizes that I bought from a small farm that had a mix of hens and a couple of roosters. Wish me luck!
