This section, explains in detail the role of each part in the machine, it's logic and construction.



This is a diagram or picture we made in order to visualize the basic connections of the Machine. It's not 100% accurate, and it is subject to change, but it served as a fundamental basis. Because with it, we can have a view of what we are trying to achieve.

Every part detailed in the last section can be observed in the diagram, except for the ones used in the construction of the pump (The one of color red and white).



We made this flow diagram to explain the basic function of the Machine, which is quite straight-forward. The diagram is using certain terms, variables and other stuff we did in order to understand it. It goes like this: First the machine is turned on, next it will start receiving information from the sensors, it compares a variable with a temperature of 37 Celsius Degrees, after that it takes a decision.

If 'A' was less than 37, then it starts a process, in which 'A' must go up, in order to do that, 'R' which is the resistor, is used for little time (15 seconds) and turns off. A delay of 1 min, takes place and then 'checks' a time lapse, if 16 hours have passed. Lets consider that 16 hours, haven't passed yet. The flow returns to the initial comparison, of 'A' with 37 degrees.

If 'A' was bigger or equal to 37, then a delay of 1 min takes place, and a comparison is made. If 16 have passed or not. Considering the 16 hours haven't passed, then it returns to the first comparison, of 'A' with 37. This can be described as the first phase of the basic function, in which the growth control, takes place. The next phase, starts after a lapse of 16 hours, in which the production control takes place.
