[Hans Peter] wanted to move away from using full Arduino boards in his projects. One of the components he rarely used after the development stage is the USB hardware. Once the firmware is flashed t… ...

Defining _SERIALCONTROL constant Arduino will accept control commands from the USB serial, while defining _I2CCONTROL constant Arduino will accept commands from another micro controller or embedded ...

This project uses a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, an Arduino Uno, some servos, and a USB webcam. The end result is a camera mounted to the servo that’s controlled by the Arduino.

It's of course backwards compatible with existing Arduino add-ons, but sets itself apart with a new USB controller with lower latency and driver-free operation on Mac and Linux.

The creator explains more about the inspiration behind his Arduino-powered 360-degree animal camera trap. Camera traps are a super useful tool for field biologists and conservationists!
