This project is for the design of a tortoise incubator temperature controller. The temperature is regulated by an external heat lamp, which is controlled to maintain the temperature to within a specific range. Temperature is measured using a commonly available LM35 temperature sensor. The controller allows the user to preset the operating temperature range, and alarm set points. For more of my work please visit my webpage at: www.rkelectronics.org

 

PLEASE NOTE In the bill of materials it is shown that the lamp output kettle socket is male. This is incorrect and should be a female. The mains inlet should also be male not female.

LM35 Sensor Card

LM35 Sensor Card

This card interfaces with the LM35 sensor. On board is an operational amplifier 5 stage low pass filter (Fc = 6 Hz) (to remove noise, mains interference and variations from the sensor) and a 12 bit SPI controlled ADC (MCP3201).

PIC Chip Based Function Generator [Function Generator mkI]

0

This project builds a simple 8 bit function generator using 18F46k22. 32 Waveforms each containing 64 bytes per period. Maximum output frequency 1700 Hz. Input clock is required this can be from a 555 timer. Output is on portD. a simple DAC is required to convert back into analogue voltage, a simple R/2R resistor ladder will do.
