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.

Main Project

Finished Project

Box Opened Up

This is the box when opened, you can see that it is quite full inside.

Motherboard

This is the main board which holds the CPU. However this project consists of multiple daughter boards, including the 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]

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.
