In my application I track changes in leaf development in a Belgian forest. You can visit the project website at http://virtualforest.io.\n\nThe housing is made of standard PVC fittings, sitting on top of a garden fence post. The optics are covered by a glass lamp shade to provide optimal transmission and limited deformation (acrylic globes can be used as well). The only custom part is the mounting setup of the camera which is a 3D printed PLA setup. Black PLA is used to limit internal reflections.\n\nConstructed and placed in the forest the camera looks like a garden lamp (see figure). An ethernet cable, which runs to a nearby hub, serves as the internet and power connection. The setup has a ground wire for surge protection due to voltage spikes from any nearby lightning strikes.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"http://virtualforest.io/img/featured.jpg\"\u003e\n\n## Installation\n\nTo install the software clone the project onto a raspberry pi and run the install script.\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/bluegreen-labs/photosphere.git\nsh install_photosphere.sh\n```\nYou will have to edit the crontab manually. Data is uploaded to github for viewing, but additional lines can be added to upload captures elsewhere for permanent storage (either on- or offline).\n\n## Parts List\n\nI assume that common items such as screws and glue (pvc, silicone) are available to makers.\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:80%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrice ($)\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRicoh Theta 360 camera\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~$300+\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaspberry pi 3B+\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$36\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaspberry pi PoE hat\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$25\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48V POE injector\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$10\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAPC surge protector\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$18\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200ft / 50m Cat5e cable\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$13\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\" glass globe lamp cover\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$35\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" (10cm) PVC pipe\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$20\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" (10cm) PVC coupler\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$2.5\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5\" Wooden Fence post\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$5\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36\" ground anchor\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$30\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTOTAL\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~$500+\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbluegreen-labs%2Fphotosphere","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbluegreen-labs%2Fphotosphere","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbluegreen-labs%2Fphotosphere/lists"}
