=> ↺ Searching for an elusive orchid pollinator
He was in a "Raspberry Pi phase" a year or so later and thought he could use that device to help in the search. He put up a block diagram of the Raspberry-Pi-based camera system that he built. It uses an infrared camera to continuously take pictures of a target flower. It is powered by two "very heavy, unfortunately" sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries using a power distribution board that allows him to swap batteries in the field without shutting down. He also designed a companion board with a realtime clock, small display for power monitoring, and that could drive an infrared floodlight at night.
He started out taking full-resolution photos, but "it was taking too long to take a photograph, relatively speaking"; he reduced the resolution to 1920x1080, which allowed him to take a photo every 0.8 seconds. The "3.2 million photographs" from the title of his talk referred to what he gathered in a normal month-long season: a bit over 100K photos per day for roughly 30 days. Over a season, five different flowers were monitored in succession.

The 100ASK-V853-Pro board is a development kit consisting of an Allwinner V853 system-on-module board (SoM) and a feature-rich carrier board with a large number of interfaces. Allwinner V853 supports up to 1TOPS of NPU computing power and is mainly for AI vision application development. The core board contains a DDR and eMMC as well as a PMU chip (AXP2101) and is connected to the carrier board through a board-to-board connector.

WisdPi ArduPico is an Arduino UNO-shaped baseboard designed for the Raspberry Pi Pico and compatible boards that enables makers to reuse most Arduino shields available on the market and also adds for few I/Os and features.
=> ↺ Hands on with the Matter beta for Home Assistant
Now that I'm done reviewing the latest Matter devices from Nanoleaf, it's time to turn my attention back to Home Assistant. Since I haven't taken a deep dive on this open source smart home platform in a few years, I recently set it up on a spare Raspberry Pi.
=> ↺ Matter Explained: What You Need to Know About This Next-gen Smart Home Protocol
The dream of smart home unity may finally be here thanks to Matter. This next-gen smart home protocol helps all your various smart home devices play well together without numerous apps or complicated setups. Ideally, this will drastically change the future of smart home technology for the better.
