Summary: | Hatching eggs is very important in an agro-based country like Bangladesh. However, excessive cost, poor hatching rate, and lack of proper automation affect the hatching rate. This paper aims to design and implement an automated egg incubator for households without hassle, being a cost-effective, energy-efficient, automated & affordable egg incubator. The hatching rate of the implemented incubator is about 92%. Locally available & environment-friendly materials like wood, glass, paper, styrofoam, aluminium foil etc. have been utilized to build the structure of the incubator. It can contain a maximum of 50 regular size eggs at a time. ESP-32, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, relay module, incandescent heating bulb, egg turning motor, ventilation & heat circulation fan are used to implement the system. The microcontroller of the incubator controls temperature, air circulation, ventilation and egg turning by different actuators. loT has also been introduced for monitoring and remote control of the incubator. |
