Mouse Cage Imaging

This is a mouse imaging system designed to take timelapse photos every 10 minutes, even overnight in complete darkness. It uses 3D parts to mount a Raspberry Pi, and an Infrared Camera to a mouse cage.

Parts:

• Element14 Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Motherboard
• 16 GB Noons Micro SD Card
• Smraza Camera Module for Raspberry Pi 3 with 5MP 1080p OV5647 Video Webcam Supports Night Vision Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3b 2 Model B B+
• DS3231 Real Time Clock Module 3.3V/5V with battery For Raspberry Pi and Arduino
• Adafruit Case Lid
• Adafruit Base Case
• Adafruit 5V 2.5A PS

Real Time Clock Setup

 echo "dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds3231" >>/boot/config.txt

edit the /lib/udev/hwclock-set file (sudo nano /lib/udev/hwclock-set) and "comment out" the following lines"

 if [ -e /run/systemd/system ] ; then
 exit 0
 fi

so they become:

 #if [ -e /run/systemd/system ] ; then
 # exit 0
 #fi

Update the HW Clock from system time, assuming the Raspberry PI had is network connected.

 sudo hwclock -w 

reboot and then run:

 sudo hwclock -r
