Programming Interfaces
The XM-18 Mini Digital Automatic Egg Incubator provides two programming interfaces: UART and I2C.
UART Interface
The UART interface allows for serial communication with the incubator using a microcontroller or a single-board computer.
Example 1: Using an Arduino Board
In this example, we will use an Arduino board to control the XM-18 Mini Digital Automatic Egg Incubator using the UART interface.
```c++
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#define INCUBATOR_TX 2
#define INCUBATOR_RX 3
SoftwareSerial incubatorSerial(INCUBATOR_TX, INCUBATOR_RX);
void setup() {
incubatorSerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// Set temperature to 38C
incubatorSerial.print("T,38
");
delay(1000);
// Set humidity to 50%
incubatorSerial.print("H,50
");
delay(1000);
// Turn eggs
incubatorSerial.print("E,1
");
delay(1000);
}
```
I2C Interface
The I2C interface allows for communication with the incubator using a microcontroller or a single-board computer.
Example 2: Using a Raspberry Pi
In this example, we will use a Raspberry Pi to control the XM-18 Mini Digital Automatic Egg Incubator using the I2C interface.
```python
import smbus
# I2C address of the incubator
INCUBATOR_ADDRESS = 0x1A
# Create an instance of the I2C bus
bus = smbus.SMBus(1)
def set_temperature(celsius):
bus.write_byte_data(INCUBATOR_ADDRESS, 0x01, celsius)
def set_humidity(percent):
bus.write_byte_data(INCUBATOR_ADDRESS, 0x02, percent)
def turn_eggs(enabled):
bus.write_byte_data(INCUBATOR_ADDRESS, 0x03, enabled)
# Set temperature to 38C
set_temperature(38)
# Set humidity to 50%
set_humidity(50)
# Turn eggs
turn_eggs(True)
```
Example 3: Using a NodeMCU Board with Wi-Fi
In this example, we will use a NodeMCU board to control the XM-18 Mini Digital Automatic Egg Incubator using the UART interface and Wi-Fi connectivity.
```c++
#include <WiFi.h>
const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";
WiFiServer server(80);
#define INCUBATOR_TX D2
#define INCUBATOR_RX D3
SoftwareSerial incubatorSerial(INCUBATOR_TX, INCUBATOR_RX);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
incubatorSerial.begin(9600);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
server.begin();
}
void loop() {
WiFiClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
String request = client.readStringUntil('
');
if (request.indexOf("T,") != -1) {
int temperature = request.substring(2).toInt();
incubatorSerial.print("T," + String(temperature) + "
");
} else if (request.indexOf("H,") != -1) {
int humidity = request.substring(2).toInt();
incubatorSerial.print("H," + String(humidity) + "
");
} else if (request.indexOf("E,") != -1) {
int enabled = request.substring(2).toInt();
incubatorSerial.print("E," + String(enabled) + "
");
}
client.stop();
}
}
```
In this example, we create a simple web server using the NodeMCU board and Wi-Fi connectivity. The server listens for incoming requests and controls the incubator based on the received commands.
