Step 1: Configure Your Raspberry Pi

In terminal

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• sudo apt-get install mysql-sever
• sudo apt-get install mysql-client
• mysql -uroot -p
  • copy past the content of the dump
• sudo nano /etc/rc.local
  • paste this underneat everything

    • nohup python3 /var/www/html/back/start.py

Step 2: Prepare the Sides of the Terrarium (2* 40cm X 30xm)

Sign your planks and predrill them(see image for the dimensions).

Step 3: Prepare the Back of the Terrarium (40cm X 56.4xm)

Sign your planks and predrill them(see image for the dimensions).

Step 4: Put Together the Sides to the Back (40cm X 56.4xm)

Step 5: Put Together the Inside Plank of the Terrarium (54.4 X 26.4)

Step 6: Put Together the Bottom Plank

You may become something like this

Step 7: Prepare the Front Plank (56.4cm X 5cm)

Step 8: Prepare the Other Front Plank (10cm X 56.4cm)

Cut a hole with the jigsaw for your LCD (measure it on the middle)
Attach your LCD with the plank with screws (3x16)

Step 9: Place the U-shapes on Your Front Planks With Screws

Put your Plexi in it and glue the magnetic contact on one plexi.
Attach the other side of the magnetic contact on your terrarium. (see on picture)
Then screw the plank with the LCD on his place.
(We connect the lamps in one of the next steps)

Step 10: Prepare the Feeder Hole (2* 7.7cm X 5.1cm)(2* 7.7cm X 3cm)

Put the planks together with nails

Step 11: Drill a Hole on Top With a Drill Ø10

30cm from the side
6.2cm from the back
Prepare the holes for the screws for the hatch.

Step 12: Drill a Hole on the Spacer With a Drill Ø10

4.4cm from back
28.2cm from the side (inside) (make sure that the hole is drilled equal with the hole on the top)
Attach the hatch on the top.

Step 13: Drill a Hole for the Axis and Another for the Cable of the Motor

hole for the axis Ø6
hole for the cable Ø10

Step 14: Cut a Hole With the Jigsaw for Hatch for Electricity (additionally)

Step 15: Give the Hatch a Lid

Take the plank that you cut out of the hatch hole and make sure the corners are nice.
Attach your hinge and knob to the plank.
Attach the plank on top.

Step 16: Set Your 3Dprinted Item on the Stepper

Make sure its good connected. (see video for working)

Step 17: Drill Holes for Your Sensors in the Corners

Connect the electrical wiring and bulbs.
Something like the picture.

Step 18: Drill a Hole in Your Stone for the Temperature Sensor

Step 19: Wiring

Step 20: Database

Step 21: 3D Print

Step 22: Github
