Automatização de microambiente para desenvolvimento de culturas biológicas

Abstract

The automation of a microenvironment used for the development of bio cultures by controlling variables such as temperature, humidity and light in view of the general purpose of the project. Through sensors were done acquisitions of the current values of variables, where these values subsequently processed by a microcontrolled board, the control was carried out through the program developed in C language. The control proved to be effective through actuators placed in the microenvironment, such as heating resistor, humidifier, LEDs, and a convection fan. The central system is based on Arduino Mega platform 2560, which has as the microcontroller ATmega2560, responsible for interpreting the data and acting upon the firmware developed for the purpose. In order to validate the proposed control automation project, results are presented, simulations and physical tests which are consistent with designed control.
