Bacteria Environmental Control

For the Introductory Studio we needed to create an environment to sustain the growth of bioluminescent bacteria.

The incubator we designed had to keep the temperature within 15-24 degrees celsius. Using Arduino we set up a system that comprised of a temperature sensor as well as fans to cool the incubator if the temperature rises above 24 degrees.
