Solar powered observation nesting box network

[Oitzu]

As the title said, i'm currently building/build a set of solar powered nesting box nodes, to observe the inner of said boxes. (By Picture)
The Gateway (a RPi) is also solar powered and connected with a UMTS stick to the internet.

I'm currently writing a series of blog-post of this MySensors powered project.

Great work! I love to read details and explanations. It helps beginners and stimulate people to start to do electronics and arduino/MySensors projects.

Thanks. I'm also still a beginner in electronics and try to fit as many infos as possible into the posts.
If some question arise i'm happy to answer them, or expand the posts about them.

I need probably 3-4 more posts to cover the whole project.

PS: Some not so obvious credits, as i seem to forgot them:
The connected nesting box project has the target to observe the endangered boreal owl in the free wild and is initiated by the NaBu Siegen-Wittgenstein Germany (NaBu = Naturschutz Bund =~ nature conservancy organisation). It is also partially fund supported by the Umweltministerium NRW (Ministry of environment NRW, Germany).

I probably need to compile a bigger lists of credits ^^

Really fascinating stuff. Might have to look into this in the future sometime for my backyard.

@hek thanks!
I'm really happy with this article and this is great but i also hoped for a little more constructive criticism on the project.
