Rasp Pi Carnivorous Plant Monitor: Overengineered Fun
2025-05-10
A developer built a semi-autonomous biosurveillance system, Xenolab, for monitoring carnivorous plants using a Raspberry Pi 5, a 7-inch touchscreen, and 3D-printed enclosure. The system monitors temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and simulates wind and light. While admitting the project is wildly over-engineered for fun, the developer documented the process from 3D modeling and wiring to the final running system.
