This article presents the design, programming, control and monitoring of the temperature, relative humidity, angular position and aeration of eggs of an artificial incubator prototype for the preservation of birds and reptiles endemic to Quintana Roo. As an example, the incubation parameters of poultry (chicken) and an endemic species (macaw) are presented. A shield card is used to facilitate coupling on the Arduino Mega card with the electronic components. The programming routine performs the automatic incubation, using the LabVIEW software to tune the PID controllers (Proportional Controller - Integral - Derivative) by means of the Ziegler-Nichols first and second method.
