While the manufacturer might claim that the camera requires 8xAA at 1.5v each, most likely it will work just fine with NiMH batteries that have nominal voltage of 1.2V.
I have used eneloops with Reconnyx cameras for a long time, as well as with handheld GPSes and a myriad of electronic... (read more)
Hi everyone,
I am using a lot (~1500) lithium AA batteries for my research based in Belize, but I haven't found any way to recycle these batteries either in Belize or in Guatemala. I think my best option is to ship these batteries to Mexico - does anyone have experience of battery... (read more)
Oh that sounds like a fascinating application. I've actually just started a thread for Wildlogger add-on board requests. The TSL25911 sounds do-able and also it looks like one useful thing would be to put together some adapter cables to other popular modular systems like the Adafruit Stemma and... (read more)
Hi Rob.
The battery connector would be the easiest connector to change from PH to XH. Also the Wildlogger board can tolerate any battery input between 3.6V and 5V. We purposely chose this range so there is compatibility with single cell lithium-ion and lithium-ion-polymer batteries as... (read more)
I also just found this similar summary of equipment on youtube - https://youtu.be/pNBkfE8UPDI. The breadboard and components are a good addition for building and testing circuits. (read more)
Hi Femke,
The original R&D for this project was actually a project using moss. An FM radio was powered using a small pot, with the project dubbed "Moss FM" and it's what originally attracted me to this form of energy generation and where I first got in touch with Paolo Bombelli... (read more)

I agree that it is likely that a dirigible would probably struggle in a lot of common mapping settings. People do use kites though. If you are interested in developing the flight control systems for dirigibles though I would also suggest that the best place to start is... (read more)
