Tote-sized Portable Incubator Begins...

This project has been building steam for years, but we now have two highly skilled and motivated volunteers, Melanie Laporte and Forrest "Lee" Erickson, who are already designing the PCB. They are following the principle of open-source design and documenting an electrical standard so that the control unit can be used with an incubation chamber of any size. They call it the "6-wire standard": +12V, GND, Temperature Data Signal Wire, and +5V for the temperature probe. The 12 volts is enough power for even large chambers if well insulated.
