HEY GUYS i'm in need of a little help here.....
so here's the crux of the matter... i am building up an chicken egg incubator...
things that need to be controlled......
Turning of eggs(continuous rotation servo) every 2 hours.
Temp control above 37C... if below... relay on....until temp >=38... etc etc
humidity control..... if below 70% relay on... until hum >=75%....
Now these three thing only really add up to 2 things... as getting the arduino to check humid and temp is no problem at all....
here's the catch though...... i really want to only use 1 arduino.......
but how on earth do i get the arduino to "delay" for 7200000 milliseconds (2 hours) but still monitor and correct the temp and humid at the same time?????
while it is an option to use 2 arduinos (what i'm using now) i really don't want to....
another thing i'm trying to get to work is having 2 switches that the egg tray rotates to touch.... when it touches it must delay, for 2 hours and then rotate the other way until it touches the other switch.... sounds simple enough.... but it's exasperating to get right.....
then your computer goes to heaven and forgets to leave backups of your code that was "kinda" working.............. gnnnnnnnn
if you have any solutions please let me know.
