Hi, I’m looking to build an egg incubator and would like a motor that makes 1 RPM in 24 hours (mimics a mother hen turning over her eggs once a day), can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello @Shecta and welcome to the forum
a more natural approach would be a (arduino) timer that starts a geared dc motor with encoder every 24h. The encoder makes sure, the eggs turn 360 at once, instead of turning the eggs a fraction of degrees permanently. The arduino could also take care of temperature and humidity if necessary.

Thanks for the comment. in looking at the Arduino uno, I found a 2 RPM motor and a 27:1 worm gear that should take care of my rotation challenge. Next rabbithole to go down is using the Arduino to control the heat…
