Hey all im new to the site and to arduinos any help would be appreciated. Im building a incubator for incubating chicken egg just for the experience of setting up and programing. So far I have arduino uno with a dht22 temp/humidity I am planning on using a 55watt car bulb for heater (maybe two if I need them) a servo motor to tilt the bed every six hours (egg need to be turned every six hours to develop correctly). I have designed and printed a egg bed to hold 9 eggs and fittings to attach bed to servo motor. I have pc power supply converted to power bulb. Now im going to try to control 55 watt bulb with pwm from arduino to hold temp at 32 degrees c or some temp close depending on eggs im incubating. I have got mosfet (fqp30n06l) to control bulb.
My questions at this point are:
1. Is this the best way to approach this project (I do want to learn to use pwm from input from temp sensor).
2. What wiring circuit is correct for mosfet (Can I just use it direct).
3. I have put the 12volt pc power supply ground into arduino ground is this ok(correct way of doing it).
4. For timer to turn bed every six hours will I need something like a real time clock.
5. How do I use all the code together on arduino can I write them on different tabs
6. Any help with code would be a big help but please explain what is happening with comments as I do want to learn wats happening please.
Thanks in advance for any input.
