Raspberry Pi Bird Box

myminifactory

I had created a basic bird box that worked amazingly well, but my ultimate goal was always to squeeze a Raspberry Pi inside, and I finally managed it by utilizing the lid to house everything. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to comment, as I think I need to improve the power connector - time will tell how it holds up. It's designed so that it can easily be removed if needed, and there is always the possibility of having a few boxes and moving the Raspberry Pi enabled roof as required. However, you should be careful if birds are already nesting, as this may not be advisable. I have done a little YouTube video showing the project, but I've also listed all the parts/sources below. https://youtu.be/P_TNZwkMr6I For writing the image, I used Etcher https://etcher.io/ The software that the Raspberry Pi is running is MotionEyeOS https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/ For instructions on configuring WiFi for headless operation, there's a great guide at https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2017/04/manually-setting-up-pi-wifi-using-wpa_supplicant-conf/ For those interested, the parts I used were: - The right-angle adaptor I used was from eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_id=114&ipn=icep&toolid=20004&campid=5337763327&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2F322733325130%3FViewItem%3D%26item%3D322733325130 - No IR camera https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_id=114&ipn=icep&toolid=20004&campid=5337763327&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2F152988718955%3Ful_noapp%3Dtrue - IR LED units https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_id=114&ipn=icep&toolid=20004&campid=5337763327&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FInfrared-LED-IR-Light-3W-850-For-Raspberry-Pi-Camera-Module%2F152654469612%3Fhash%3Ditem238aea59ec%3Ag%3AnSIAAOSwu2VZYUhw
