A collection of tools for building and operating a fleet of Raspberry Pi timelapse cameras.

This is a set of tools which allow you to set up a high quality remotely-operated timelapse camera (or multiple), using relatively inexpensive parts - namely a Raspberry Pi/Pi Zero W and a Raspberry Pi HQ Camera module. The general concept is as follows:

• Buy a Wifi-capable Raspberry Pi, HQ camera, lens and USB battery/power bank (details in /hardware section)
• Build or buy an enclosure for the components
• Assemble the Pi, camera and lens inside its enclosure.
• Set up the Pi by flashing a SD card with the normal Raspberry Pi OS,
• Connect the Pi to Wifi and configure SSH access
• Install Ansible on your computer, which is on the same Wifi network as your Pi
• Use the included Ansible scripts to configure & install the timelapse software on your camera(s)

• Power your Pi camera with a USB power bank (battery) and place it in the location you want to photograph
• The timelapse software will use the camera to automatically take a photo every minute
