After several troubleshoot that have been done. The collaboration of quantity of grains and
time taken for valve remaining open need to be parallel with the quantity of chicken being
cattle by user.

In this project, one of the objectives is to maintain the freshness of the grains during the
feeding time. So the temperature sensor is used to control or maintain the grains freshness.
With this temperature sensor, the surrounding temperature will be observing by the sensor
and the sensor will trigger the bulb to turn ON or OFF depending on the current temperature
of the grains as shown in table below:
Table 1: Temperature Condition and Bulb Decision
NO.

CONDITIONS
Temp. < = 29
Temp. > = 33

DECISION
Bulb turn ON
Bulb turn OFF

To ensure the freshness of the grains, 240V 100Watt Bulb were used where it can produce
enough heat right after the sensor detect the lower surrounding temperature of the grains.
