[19/05 à 13:07] DANIEL EKASSI: Here's the full working code for your baby incubator temperature
control system using:
A standard 16×2 LCD (with HD44780 controller) in 4-bit mode
DHT22 for ambient temperature
LM35 for heater control
A buzzer and a heater relay or triac
A potentiometer connected to pin 3 (VO) for contrast
✅ LCD Pinout & Wiring
✅ Additional Connections
✅ Arduino Libraries Needed
DHT sensor library (by Adafruit)
LiquidCrystal (comes built-in)

lcd.setCursor(0, 1); lcd.print("DHT22:"); lcd.print(tDHT, 1); lcd.print("C");
delay(1000); }
✅ Notes:
Adjust thresholds as needed.
Adjust contrast using the 10k potentiometer connected to VO.
Backlight may need a current-limiting resistor.
Let me know if you want a Proteus simulation or the code zipped.
[19/05 à 13:12] DANIEL EKASSI: Certainly! Below is the full Arduino code for your baby incubator
temperature control system using only one temperature sensor: DHT22.
✅ What’s Included:
DHT22 used as the only sensor for measuring temperature
Controls a heater (e.g., MOC3021 + triac) via digital pin
Sounds a buzzer when temperature is outside safe range
Displays temperature and status on a 16x2 LCD using 4-bit parallel mode
✅ LCD Wiring (Standard HD44780 - 16x2 or 20x4)
✅ Sensor & Actuator Pins:
