Desenvolvimento de uma Chocadeira Multiespécies Automatizada com Controle PID e Interface Integrada

Abstract

This work presents the development of a multi-species automated incubator capable of accommodating both birds and reptiles, with precise control of temperature and humidity. The system is based on the ESP32 microcontroller and integrates digital sensors, an automatic egg-turning mechanism, and a PID control algorithm to maintain temperature within optimal ranges for different species. The incubator supports fully automated operation, adjusts incubation parameters for each species, and provides a manual mode for users to make specific adjustments when necessary. The design aims to optimize embryonic development and reduce losses caused by humidity and temperature fluctuations, which are common in semi-automatic or low-cost commercial models. By combining automation, flexibility, and precision, this work offers an accessible and adaptable solution for diversified poultry production and scientific research in artificial incubation.
