    DIY Incubator w/ automatic turning airflow problem

    I have recently been working on a DIY incubator. It has a full automatic turning system, and a Dixell thermostat. I'm still waiting for the hygrostat and mist maker to arrive, to implement an automatic humidity control. This incubator has 2 trays with 30 chicken egg capacity each (or about 90...

    Otherwise I'll have to buy a 0.6 rpm DC motor, but they come from China and take about 2-3 weeks

    I've been trying to arrange a solution for car window elevator motor, but it is too fast for this. all the other 12v motors i've found nearby are either too fast, or don't have enough power. Today I managed to get a barbecue axle motor, which is quite powerfull and is only 2rpm which sounds...

    I already have a 12v cycle timer (the one on the right), today the timer on the left arrived on the post. I bought it a few weeks ago, before managing to put the limit switches working. As the cycle timer's minimum closed circuit time is 1m (my timer is only 3 digits, so 2 hours can't be input...

    Egg turner schematic

    Hi gpop1, this is what I was looking for :) as my electronics knowledge is a bit limited I just got a bit confused with the relays. On my circuit I was using only 1 DPDT relay (12v 8A, as my power source is 12v 5A). How many relays do I need now? Are they still dpdt? Can you give me an extra...

    Hi Queyen Le, thanks for the great schematics you shared with us! I was having a big headache on putting the motor electronics to work with the DPDT and the limit switches and have finally succeeded thanks to you :) I am now wondering if it is possible to add to this circuit some kind of...

    Hi everybody

    Hi everybody! I love all kinds of birds, but specially chickens, partridges, pheasants and quails. I have had plans for some years of building my own incubator to be able to breed some chickens for home consumption, but above all for the fun of learning some more about electronics and all this...
