Hey Everyone,
I'm new here, just another person who finds electronic the best hobby possible, I have very low knowledge in what concerns to electronics, however I learn fast as hell. I'm currently taking a degree in Maths & Computer Science so I'm more of a programmer
So, I've been asked for a chicken eggs incubator system, those are really really high priced (like 400~600€), and it can be done with less than 20€.
Box, made of styrofoam, 45cm x 20cm, and about 20cm height, for the system I will use a simple PIC (bought programmer and a PIC 12C508A today so I'm just going to learn how to program in it today also) and will use it to control temperature with a LM35 sensor (if > 38C || < 35C) turn on the HEAT generator.
For humidity I will just add a sponge with water inside but if anyone knows how to make a simple cheap humidity controller please let me know!
The thing is, the HEAT, I was thinking about just using a 25Watts old light bulb but I'm wondering if there is any more efficient way to generate heat with less power!
Thanks In Advance!
