INTRODUTION 
 Harare institute of technology(HIT) is a Zimbabwean educational institution 
established since 1988 as a national vocational training centre involved into a 
Technical College offering electrical,mechanical and automotive engineering 
courses,producing artisans capable of operating and maintaining machinery in 
industry until 2005 when it was granted a degree awarding status 
 HIT is themost energetic and responsive educational institution in Zimbabwe 
providing engineering programmes which are geared towards the production of 
industrial technical human resourse,project orientd,creative and highly qualified 
technologists for all the economic sectors. 
 The Institute has a separate business entity called Insti-Holdins to enable the 
development and commercialisation of successful research and project from 
Institutes technology centre.We have fives companies under Instiholdings namely 
Institronics,Institools,Instisoft,Instifoods and instiherbs.
INTRO CONT. 
DESTINY

The technology center conducts research, design, manufacture, develop, 
incubate, transfer, and commercialise technology for all sectors of the 
economy.Therefore it can be classified as operating under R&D industry 
The major products developed by the technology center include the solar 
based Vegetable Driers and the Microcontroller Based Egg Incubator.Other 
products from Insti-Holdings include: soy-yoghurt, soy-milk, soy-sour milk, ice 
cream and mineral water. 
Talking about corporate culture, there is a positive workmate relationship 
amongst the staff members and a high level of team work in execution of 
duties focusing on meeting one goal at a time.
HIT is still expanding and has engaged to promote and nurture the 
development of high school students for tertiary studies. The technology 
center offers visits to high school students in around the department 
workshops. By so doing the institute is improving its relationship with the 
society.
PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL 
DEVELOPMENT 
 To be resourceful and innovative in technical aspects of the work including the ability to find and repair faults 
occurring in electronic system 
 Microcontroller programming in C language. 
 PCB board development 
 Time management 
 Effective communication 
 Experience in the detailed design, implementation and testing of analogue and digital electronic circuits and 
systems (including microcontroller based systems).
PROJECT 
MICROCONTROLLER BASED 
EGG INCUBATOR
The project was designed to develop a microcontroller based system of an 
egg incubator mainly for chicken poultry production using the temperature 
and humidity sensors that measures the condition of the incubator and 
automatically rotate the position of the egg by use of DC motor. The project 
development was divided into three main sections namely 
mechanical,electronic and software designs. 
Incubation is the process by which birds hatch their eggs through the 
development of the embryo within the egg. Air ventilation is very important 
during the incubation process. While the embryo is developing, oxygen 
enters the egg through the shell and carbon dioxide escapes in the same 
manner 
 The three main elements that are to be controlled for the incubator to 
produce good results are air ventilation, temperature and humidity

The major pats are master controller circuit, slave controller circuit, heater 
controller circuit and power supply circuit. The master controller circuit 
interfaces the temperature and humidity circuit, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), 
heater and fan. For the slave controller circuit, it interfaces with DC motor 
circuit attached to the egg tray. 
The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors, whose 
output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature.It does not 
require any external calibration or trimming to provide typical accuracies 
of賊14Cat room temperature and 賊34C over a full 55 to +150C 
temperature range.
Because of its output range, affordability and long term stability,the humidity 
sensor HMZ333 was used in this project 
The wiper DC motor was chosen because of its low speed rotation to 
eliminates the issues of gearing or speed control using Pulse Width 
Modulation (PMW). Also the wiper motor can carry heavy loads.
SOFTWARE DEVELPMENT 
The code was written and tested in parts/functions separately before the 
whole code was compiled. The main parts of the projects include the 
temperature(36-39degree celcius)and humidity Monitoring and Control 
codes and the DC motor control code.
