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.
