Champaign - Phase One, Data Logging In Place

Post date: Apr 21, 2012 7:49:57 AM

TVKP is up in data logging mode right now. The enclosure is constructed the phone and light are mounted and it is running. I even kicked the cat out of the house so that he'd be forced to come back inside at some point tonight. Hopefully a few points.

Right now the taplight is just powered by batteries so I have a sneaking suspicion that the batteries will die at some point during the night and it will just start snapping pictures until the SD card is full. I will find out tomorrow.

I'm totally excited right now. This is a pretty big moment for me. This is a big project and it's coming along nicely. I expect to find some sort of bug or issue tomorrow that I'll need to correct but it's just fine tuning/debugging at this point. The functionality is actually there.

It's only really so visible because of the camera flash and the back porch lights being on. It was actually about 12:30 PM when I snapped this.
