#Raspberry Pi-Powered Bird Feeder

This project uses a Raspberry Pi connected to a camera and motion sensor to take pictures and videos of birds as they fly up to eat at a feeder.

The files are uploaded to Google drive with Grive2 and then deleted locally. This insures that the Pi will never run out of memory.

#Use

Download The Project

git clone github.com/devonmurphy/PIBirdfeeder

Connect python Folder With Google Drive

cd PIbirdfeeder/python
grive -a -u -f

Grive will return a link to a hash that can be used to authenticate a folder to sync with Google drive.

After an account is connected, the Pi can save the videos and pictures it takes to the cloud.
