Over the past few weeks I've worked on my free time to finish implementation of my off-the-grid Raspberry Pi-based remote bison monitoring station. Currently, the system is programmed to take photographs every five minutes and send those photos to me every hour in an email. This current method is my first configuration, so it is quite basic. However, while designing the system, I built in the room and flexibility necessary for significant expansion. It is hard to describe the level of security and relief one feels at being able to receive continuous updates on the condition of your herd no matter where you are located. I'll describe the system further in future posts when I have time.
