Ok, in lieu of an actual photo for now, here is a drawing to better clarify what I am talking about. Excuse my crude drawing, my right-brain isn't very developed. Uploaded with ImageShack.us So, the control box is on the left, it is fairly small for what it does. The top is where the LCD...

I can't believe spring is around the corner already. I am happy to report that our carpet is going in tomorrow! I just finished all the trim upstairs last night, and then finally put more time in my incubator project. Let me preface, a lot has changed. Originally, I wanted to design an...

Quote: Different humidity settings are controlled by the logic/program that is running. Change a couple parameters of the program and voila. Yes, wood would be much easier to clean/sanitize. Use a non-toxic sealer. However, the thermal properties. More thought on this is required. I was...

Wow, a lot of time has passed. Sorry folks!!! Yes, this is still alive and well, I have been working VERY busily on my home renovation, trying to get it done and move in before school starts up again for the youngsters. I bought a 1933 farmhouse that was in very bad shape. But it coming...

Ok, here's an update. I have made great progress on this project. I located a supplier for the container that I want. After looking what was readily available such as the styrofoam ice chest cooler, I wasn't impressed. I found a company that does make a formed container that is much thicker...

Quote: Just to clarify a few points. I am not talking about assembling this unit and throwing into a box and calling it my own. I am talking about using this as a component of the finished product, with some modifications to this part as well. The centerpiece is not shown. The centerpiece...

I checked the thread this morning and found out it the incubator has come into a couple of names. I don't think i like intimibator too much Fisherman65, ha. Star-Bator, kinda catchy. As far as being intimidating, I can understand that. Actually, bigstack is absolutely right. There really...

Wow, you all are a bunch of great folks. Nice setup Deek. Looks like some very intuitive engineering. I am actually looking at some IC login controllers for timing, temp, etc. So, yes, it will be very compact. Joey, yes I got your message. Thanks. From the overwhelming response I will...

Hi Brad. If I got crazy enough, I could probably send it to the moon. I understand where you're coming from , but I am a reasonable person and not a money hungry corporation. Some of the prices out there are ridiculous. With the features I am talking about, they normally sell for about $400...

Wow, didn't know there would be such a strong response. My DW of 12 years looked at me and smiled when I explained it to her. I couldn't tell if she was thinking, you poor poor geek or if if she thought it was a good idea and I was smart. The jury is still out on that one. I am looking for...

Thanks for the prompt replies. I am in the midst of a complete house remodel, so my time is scarce. I want to have this done in the next couple of weeks. I am using a local company that had already come up with the heating circuitry as well as the integrated (fully adjustable of course)...

I am very new to incubation, however I am very experienced in IT and electronics. After searching around for an incubator it was I either make one with a light bulb and a water heater thermostat, or I buy a commercial one for hundreds of dollars. The commercial ones I was not impressed with...
