Abstract : Silk, often referred to as the "queen of textiles," is renowned for its softness, durability, and lustrous appearance. The production of high-quality silk is highly dependent on the growth and development of silkworms, which is significantly influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. Traditional methods of maintaining optimal conditions in silkworm incubators are often labor-intensive and prone to errors, leading to inconsistencies in silk quality. This project proposes a cost-effective, automated prototype for silkworm incubators that monitors and controls environmental conditions using an stm32-based system. The prototype is designed to monitor temperature, humidity, and luminosity within the incubator and automatically adjust these parameters using a heater, humidifier, and light control system. This automation ensures optimal growth conditions for silkworms, leading to the production of high-quality silk.

Keywords : STM32, Silkworm Incubator, Environmental Monitoring, Temperature Control, Humidity Sensing, Light Intensity, DHT22, IoT, Sericulture, Embedded Systems, Real-Time Monitoring.
