In this dissertation, we will create an application, based on a microcontroller programming. In fact, this application is a system where the user is able to control various incubator functions while being in a distance from the incubator itself. This can be achieved with a mobile phone by using the GSM network. To create this application we used the Arduino Mega 2560, which is a single-board microcontroller, namely an open-source motherboard, with an included microcontroller and various in and out ports. The functions that a user is able to control are plenty, however in this application is turning the lights on and off, and checking the incubator temperature. There is also constant control of the incubator’s temperature and humidity, while there is also a specialized machine that modifies the eggs position, during several programmed times, using a stepper motor. The programming development was made in the Wiring language, which is similar to C++.
