BirdBox2016: what's happening?

There has been plenty of interest shown by a number of local blue tits in both of our Pi powered bird boxes.


I've also added some enhancements to our bird box monitor which sits in a corner of our kitchen and raises the alarm if a box is triggered by a visitor.


It is the 12th March, so we may only be 2 or 3 weeks away from some real nest-building action!

Tontec 7 inch LCD + RaspberryPi

I bought this LCD about 10 months ago for £35, so its about time I did something with it!


I've half an idea that I could use it in the kitchen to monitor the video feeds from my bird boxes.


The first problem is how to mount it into a panel, as the LCD module does not have any mounting points or lugs.
