For timelapses 1-3, I had multiple headaches dealing with the weak-sauce ribbon-cable Pi camera. I dumped it for a more hefty, webcam-style USB camera. Photos:

Re-use some of the things that were accomplished with [[RaspberryPi/Timelapse3]] (example: we were able to control the LED).
The USB camera will make it easier to resurrect the idea bucket and figure out how to best mount the camera.
I say, keep it simple, mount it, add the cap on, and a rubber layer around it if you want to protect it from rain.

Timelapse 4 Plan

Re-use some of the things that were accomplished with RaspberryPi/Timelapse3 (example: we were able to control the LED).

The USB camera will make it easier to resurrect the idea bucket and figure out how to best mount the camera.

I say, keep it simple, mount it, add the cap on, and a rubber layer around it if you want to protect it from rain.
