I havent looked for a luminosity (?) sensor but did build a basic light monitor into it with an LDR and capacitor - basically this tutorial: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-light-sensor/ it isnt especially accurate, and would rather get a dedicated module for future applicationsNestBoxTechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596961979586589583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203640512649941007.post-65624874550408342172019-09-24T00:02:02.251+01:002019-09-24T00:02:02.251+01:00Easy to do Steve, I also want to see if I can work...Easy to do Steve, I also want to see if I can work out some sort of 'time spent on station' metric - this is probably not easy when both parents are present, but in nesting season #2 the male went AWOL, so I have a handy control datasetNestBoxTechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596961979586589583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203640512649941007.post-44460691031930759812019-09-23T21:28:38.085+01:002019-09-23T21:28:38.085+01:00Fantastic Chris, this is brilliant and just shows ...Fantastic Chris, this is brilliant and just shows you what you can do with a few components and script. This has a lot more scope for more metrics as you can measure more over time than standard loggers. Also, you could probably cross correlate with other metrics like temp, light etc. Well done Chris, this is really good and would be perfect area for research.

Very interesting.

I've always suspected these will be a little wild during the period when birds are checking out the box (lots of looking in the box without getting fully in). And during the feeding stage, I'd expect the "in" and "out" counts to be a better match.<br />SteveDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645378028590228663noreply@blogger.com
