| Summary: | The objective of the thesis proponents was to design a microprocessor-based system that can measure the right intensity of sunlight by using photo-sensors, and be able to adjust the lighting, both in intensity and length of day accordingly, inside the poultry house (within the Philippine setting). Light controlling will be done by altering the voltage applied to the bulb using the Z80 CTC connected to a triac controlled by a microprocessor. Since only a few studies have been made concerning the effect of light on chickens, the proponents based their work on existing data, and as such it is accurate only to a certain extent. However, actual implementation has not yet been done because this alone could take years of study and research. The software made is only to serve the purposes of simulation and thus, it is recommended that a real-time program be made in order to fit the purpose of actual implementation. There could be more advancements made based on what the thesis proponents have started, and they encourage the next batch of Computer Engineers to carry on the job. Though it may be a bit time-consuming, it can greatly help in achieving the economic miracle the Filipinos have long been waiting for. |
