- | The camera project didn’t require any major engineering effort, but rather was a simple “mash up” of existing elements — a perfect example of the //sketching// principle of Arduino. Being Arduino-based, it’s also easy to tweak…say if you’d like a time-lapse camera rather than motion sensing. Let’s see how it’s put together! | + | The camera project didn’t require any major engineering effort, but rather was a simple “mash up” of existing elements — a perfect example of the //sketching// principle of Arduino. Being Arduino-based, it’s also easy to tweak…say if you’d like a time-lapse camera rather than motion sensing, or to hack in sensors such as a laser “trip wire.” Let’s see how it’s put together! |
