Digispark triggering a camera

[kwyjib0]

My son made a bird feeder at school and every now and then we could spot a bird eating on our balcony. I thought that would be cool to make photos of the birds stopping by.
Somehow we would have to detect when something comes/flies by. This is done using a PIR motion sensor. But apart from that, Digispark should trigger after a defined interval, like making a foto every 5 minutes for some nice time lapse movies.

Awesome, thank you for the instructions - this is along the lines of what I want to build

For that Spycam, can you provide a link to the Seller? I would love to play with that  thing myself.

I already have 5 of those PIR sensors so I'm good to go there.

Nice little project. Also thanks for all the good photos, good quality photos are important when explaining a project.

@dmackey828, thanks for the comment!


Here's a link to a camera on ebay: http://is.gd/ezusIR

Take a look at the 808 #16 or #18 cameras if you want to be able to shoot while plugged into USB.  I like the solution you came up with, but these newer cameras will make things a bit easier.
