QuaCKibator

/*QuaCKibator
 * DHT22 libraries downloaded from Github-Adafruit
 * DHT22 code used in this program was origianally written by Lady Ada
 * 
 * QuaCKibator egg Incubator:
 * The following program is for an incubator I decided to build.
 * As of present day Incubators on the market are quite expensive and 
 * lots of times, don't stay at the correct temperature.
 * This results in a very low hatch rate and loss of money.  So I decided to build
 * one to brush up on my programming skills as well as to hatch 
 * a few duck eggs.  I have almost a dozen pet duckies, so why not hatch some more!
 * Ducks are Awesome =)
 * 
 * This code is just to get you started it will output the
 * temperature and humidity to an LCD as well as control your heat
 * source.  Which in this case would be a light bulb. Things that it
 * will not do:
 * 1. turn eggs (4x daily)
 * 2. adjust humidity (60-65%)
 * these things should be done manually(version 1 of QuaCKibator)
 *

 * Be Awesome!
