It’s okay to fail when trying your hand at digital making, because you learn from your mistakes! Dan’s explanations of the struggles he faced and how he overcame them are ?.įor a full rundown of the project and tips on building your own, check out its Hackster.io page. This file contains the information needed for your local wireless network setup.

The last thing we need to do to prepare the microSD card is to create a 'nf' file on the card. To install the motionEyeOS image on my microSD card, I first extracted. The camera, running on Raspbian, boasts several handy functions, including touchscreen controls courtesy of the Pimoroni HyperPixel, realtime video and image capture, and a viewing distance of two to five metres.Įmbracing the FAIL (First Attempt In Learning) principle, Dan goes into detail about the issues he had to overcome while building the camera, which is another reason why we really enjoyed this project. You can also enable the camera, I2C, and SSH through Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration from the desktop menu. I have always been fascinated by the idea that you can see in the dark and this formed the foundation of my idea to build a portable hand-held night vision piece of equipment. The iconic image from the game is the night vision goggles that Sam Fisher wears. Toggle the Camera option to Enabled and then press OK.

A Raspberry Pi Zero W, Pimoroni HyperPixel screen, and Raspberry Pi IR Camera Module are all you need to build this homemade night vision camera.īuilt into the body of an old camera flash, Dan’s Raspberry Pi night vision camera is a homage to a childhood spent sneaking around the levels of Splinter Cell. Go into Preferences from the Pi’s ‘start menu’, then Configuration.
