That occurs when a bird is blocking the entrance or flying past it. The system is self calibrating so it doesn’t go off if a cloud drifts past the sun.<o:p></o:p>I’m using a hacked remote camera cable for the trigger and the LDR is glued inside a plastic tube (an old felt pen) and mounted above the ‘door’. <o:p></o:p>When the sensor triggers, the camera takes a burst of 8 pictures. Needless to say, many of the pictures are useless, -but my SD card hold 2500 frames so what the heck.
I actually won my company’s photo contest for May 2009 with this one. Everyone thought I was a patient photographer when I actually was taking a beer in the sun when the shot was taken
Very nice, very inspiring! If I ever get the time…
I have a small and very fast RC car. I often dreamed of making it jump, and while in mid air fire a tablebomb under it, while taking a snapshot ALl controlled my MCU, and sensors, of course.
