Overview

This project proposed a system that can observe the water level and water temperature for the fish farming industries. In this project, the fish pond is used as the prototype to observe the output in term of water level and temperature. This prototype detector consists of several components such as Arduino Uno Atmega328p, float switch, water pump, buzzer and etc. The observed output parameters are water level and temperature.


Methodology

Water Level and Temperature Detector for fish pond will maintain the water level and the temperature of water. The project starts with an empty pond until the suitable water level for pond is reached while controlling water temperature in the pond. The float switch is used to control and maintain the water. This project also can detect the temperature of the pond by using temperature sensor (DS18B20) by Arduino circuit. The buzzer will sound once the temperature exceeds the limits.

OBJECTIVES

  •  The purpose of this project is to design and develop the system of an egg incubator that is able to incubate quail bird named as Smart Quail Eggs Incubator (SQEI) System
  •  To build an incubator with automatic controlled temperature and humidity by using Arduino Atmega328



METHODOLOGY

The SEI incubator is consists of temperature and humidity sensors that can measure and observe the condition of the quail eggs. In this project, the DC bulbs are used inside the incubator prototype to provide the suitable temperature to hatch the quail eggs (35 degree Celcius). Some amount of water and fan controller is used to maintain the humidity and ventilation of the incubator. The DHT11 (humidity sensor) is connected to Arduino Atmega328p (microcontroller) to detect the humidity and temperature's level inside the incubator and the results is then displayed on the LCD screen. The Digital Thermostat (W1209) is used to process the data from the sensor and control the heating and cooling element to change the condition of the DC bulb to be turned ON or OFF. In addition, the 12V DC fan is added to regulate the air inside the incubator to preserve the stable condition throughout the hatching process.
