[Jorge Rancé] was nursing a ill bird back to health. He discovered it on the street with a damaged leg, which needed a small plaster cast for it to heal correctly. But felt poor when leaving the home for long periods. He grabbed some easy hardware as well as put his mind at simple by building an Web linked bird tracking system. It’s truly just an reason to play around with his Raspberry Pi, however who can blame him?
A webcam adds video tracking utilizing the Linux software application called “motion” to stream the video. This is the exact same bundle we utilize with our cats when we travel; it offers a constant online stream however can likewise save recordings whenever movement is detected. He added a USB temperature sensor as well as connected a water level sensor to the GPIO header. These are immediately harvested — together with a still picture from the webcam — as well as tweeted when per hour utilizing a bash script. He just needs to work out automatic food as well as water dispensing as well as he never needs to return home! Bird seed shouldn’t be any type of harder to meal out than fish food, right?
