Peek-a-Squirrel will be a project that allows us to capture high-quality images of typically evasive squirrels. We were thinking of creating an enclosure with bait that would lure the squirrel inside. Once the squirrel is inside the enclosure, a sensor would detect it and send a signal to an attached cell-phone (with bluetooth)  that will take a picture. Furthermore, we are thinking about automatically posting the image on social media and analyzing how much people like the images based on our data.

Overview

Have you ever

We have several ideas of how we could do the sensor detection (touch pads, lasers, or weight-scales). Our primary source of help would be in Arduino and knowledge about how social media websites collect data.

Objectives

Sense an animal that comes into our enclosure and and send a signal to camera to automatically take a picture of the animal and hopefully share our media via internet.

Challenges

Design Enclosure. Box structure, Sensor placement, camera angle. Study Squirrel Behavior with food, diet, to optimize use of our structure. Construction: Build Enclosure. Box Enclosure with open side and mesh roof (blocks leaves, twigs etc.) from falling inside. Hardware: Test sensors to see if they work. Place sensors into box after having it already connected to Raspberry Pi and calibrate sensors. Software: Learn Python language of Raspberry Pi, Learn to share our media with cute message. Safety: Fire safety, no harm will be done to squirrel, just giving food and taking pictures. Privacy:
