Abstract
This presents a low cost automated incubator system which uses PIC microcontroller. The microcontroller based automated incubator is designed to keep the enclosed temperature within the band of 34-37°C which is ideal for hatching eggs (Chicken). The electric heater used switches OFF if temperature is greater than or equal to 37°C but switches ON if temperature is less than 34°C. The eggs are rotated 45 degrees clockwise and anti-clockwise every one (1) hour respectively in 24 hours. This is achieved by a stepper motor which drives the egg tray either in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. A microcontroller (PIC16F84A) is used as the major component to realize this automated incubator. The result of the implementations of the system is low cost, and increases the hatching efficiency of the incubator.
