You can build an web related chook feeder digital camera with Adafruit IO and CircuitPython.This challenge captures photographs of birds which you could view on an Adafruit IO feed or dashboard.
We designed and 3D printed a chook feeder to deal with the Adafruit MEMENTO, a big battery, and a PIR sensor. It’s bought a tray for holding chook seeds and a perch so birds alike can go to and have a meal.
When the PIR sensor detects movement, the MEMENTO takes a photograph and sends a JPEG to Adafruit IO.
On the Adafruit IO web site, you’ll be able to view the picture inside seconds of it being captured. Using Adafruit IO’s Actions characteristic, you’ll be able to obtain e mail notifications each time a brand new picture is uploaded.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday right here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing neighborhood has ardour and dedication for making stable objects from digital fashions. Recently, we’ve observed electronics initiatives built-in with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so every Thursday we have a good time and spotlight these daring pioneers!
Have you thought-about building a 3D challenge round an Feather or different microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the again of your HD monitor? And don’t overlook the numerous LED projects which might be attainable if you end up modeling your initiatives in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of nice instruments to get you nicely in your method to creating unimaginable works of engineering, interactive artwork, and design together with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool challenge that mixes 3D printing and electronics, you’ll want to tell us, and we’ll feature it right here!
