Overview

Attempt number 3: accomplish a few improvements in the timelapse process.

What's working:

  • The camera is working and is able to capture images. There was a problem initially, but after trying to re-enable the camera several times, and rebooting several times, the camera started working.
  • The script to dump images into a directory works great in concept. Easy to keep everything segregated.

What to do differently for this timelapse:

  • 64 gb thumbdrive for space
  • camera angles - better control mechanism
  • case: improved housing for Pi and for Pi camera (integrated?)

Rainberry (Nope)

Sorry folks. This is for Raspberry Pi Model A+.

Weatherproof case:

Rainberry requires 3d printed case, but also a few other parts. Here's the complete parts list:
