Lightweight Raspberry Birdbox

In the past a more complex setup was used as bird box. In this season I’m only using a simple setup. The birdbox is not equipped with sensors and is not connected to the internet. I need to fetch data manually and update this page afterwards.

The setup is simple and straight forward and I will post a setup guide in the future.

  • Raspberry Pi
  • Raspberry Camera Module (focused)
  • Voltage regulator
  • Wifi setup
  • Crontab to take photos
