I wanted a timelapse camera that would capture my plants growth over time. But I couldn't find one available that did what I wanted.

So I found a neat camera that would work with a pi-0W. It had a good camera, but also some huge IR lights for nightvision.

I put that all together with some 3d printed parts and had a cool solution.

You could specify how frequently you wanted to capture a photo, how long you wanted the timelapse to cover, and then at the end it would stitch it all into a video. The goal was to eventually get it to upload directly to youtube, but the pepper plants I wanted to record died and I never really kept going with the project.
