Brightness control for a bulb in an incubator

AI Thread Summary
To achieve specific brightness control for a bulb in an incubator using a microcontroller, it's essential to determine the type of microcontroller being utilized. A closed-loop control system may be beneficial for precise voltage regulation. Users suggest implementing a circuit that allows for PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to adjust brightness effectively. Additional details about the microcontroller and existing setup would enhance the discussion and provide more tailored advice. Proper circuit design is crucial for achieving the desired control over the bulb's brightness.

hi member!
i would like to have your ideas on how to program my microcontroler to input a specific value to the light bulb so as the brightness to be as specific as i require,
if any fore circuit is also required,i'm here to accept and utilise ideas
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
We used a simple on/off wall thermostat inside the incubator to control a small bulb.

Are you looking to have a closed loop control system? Just trying to figure out how to actually drive the bulb with a specific voltage that is precisely controlled by microcontroller? You haven't said what type of controller you are using. More information would be very helpful.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
