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
