Pi & Camera Enclosure for Bee Counting

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

I made this to work with bee counting software (see below). It's going to sit on top of another piece I'm going to make that will fit in the place of an entrance reducer. It will be routed out with a 1/2"x6" channel with a Lexan window on top that the bees will walk through to get in and out of the hive.
The sensor cup is for temp/humidity/pressure/etc... The rods used in the STL's are 8mm and need to be 155mm long. There is an option for a TSL2591 Lux sensor in the cover and option for a DC/DC converter recess in the Pi plate. Made a Pi Plate for use with the Hivetool tophat. (Minimum 50mm cover Depth & leave the post out for ribbon cable clearance.) The SCAD file is adjustable for wall thickness. Use multiples of your nozzle diameter or whatever. The 2.4mm enclosure with a .6mm nozzle takes 5 1/2 hours & 72M of filament.
Added a "roof" to keep rain and sunshine (heat) off the Pi enclosure. Glue or screw a piece of sheet metal, opaque reflective plastic, etc to it.
