Hello everyone,
I haven't posted in a while but I think I'm in need of some help. I recently made the decision to hatch a batch of eggs this year and built two styrofoam incubators. I picked everything up for a good price but I am confused if I did something wrong. One incubator cycles perfectly every couple seconds and according to the thermometer is maintaining 99 degrees. The second incubator however also works but cycles way less often and has a two degree variance 97-99. The only thing different is placement of the thermostat as well as cord used to power my fan. My specs are as follows
1st fan power 12v - 300
2nd fan power 12v - 1.5a (tried lower but can hardly spin maybe spinning to fast?)
1st thermostat fan----->thermostat---->light
2nd thermostat fan----->light---->thermostat
My spacing is identical between the light and thermostat. Maybe I am over thinking this but I feel it should cycle nearly the same as the first one.
I'll edit this post with a video link shortly.
