The principle of the lights controller is to provide an automated function; of activating and deactivating specific lamps used in reptile vivariums and fish aquariums. The controller maintains a 24 hour clock, and stores the hour and minutes values for sunrise and sunset. When the clock reaches either sunrise, sunset or one hour past these times, a series of triggers are initiated to 'switch on' or 'switch off' specific lamps. The microcontroller used is the Microchip PIC18F14k22 microprocessor running at 5v. Internal processor clock is 8 MHz, and Timer1 (auto incrementing register used to maintain the clock) is controlled via an external 32.768 kHz quartz crystal. This microcontroller provides all the control functions of the unit. The microprocessor outputs the time and day period to a backlit 8 column, 2 row alphanumeric display (HD44780) , reads the user input buttons (Menu/Enter, Increase and Decrease), drive a series of status LEDs (Day lamps and heat/blue lamps active as green and yellow respectively) and provide a 3 - 5v control signal for the solid state relays.

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.

Tortoise Egg Incubator Temperature Controller

0

This project is for the design of a tortoise egg 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 LM35 temperature sensor.
