Image Capturing Bird Feeder

Step 7 Finish Up & Code

Place the IR detector on the perch of the bird feeder and hang the emitter directly above the detector.  I would recommend placing the camera either just above the feeder hole or pointing toward the perch...just make sure you get a good shot.

I've attached both the Arduino Code (.pde file) and the Java files (eclipse project) required for parsing, writing jpegs, and sending to Twitter.

So far I've got no bites, but you can see if any birds or squirrels are stopping by at:
