An amateur Arduino project that uses the iNaturalist API to display the most recent species observations in your area. Tutorial here: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/kzra/arduino-wifi-inaturalist-display-c22e22 Has anyone else experimented with iNaturalist in an Arduino or Raspberry Pi projec…

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like a really cool thing you’ve made!

Awesome, this looks great! I do a bunch of Arduino stuff and have done some experiments with the iNat API, but not had chance to use the two together yet. This summer I have a project with pollinators which I’m thinking of using Raspberry Pi & PyNaturalist for, but we’ll see… Maybe I can try and h…

Thanks! Raspberry Pi pollinator project sounds cool, hope you get round to it. I’d be interested to know what that involves. I love the idea of making a remote, power saving display. You could wire it into an information board in the hills somewhere and hikers could get a constantly updating feed o…

Exactly :) could be great I guess most places are anyway covered by a 3G signal in UK at least (?), that you could tap into with your own phone to figure this stuff out, but for a national park or something to advertise to hikers that these species are around them ( and that iNaturalist is a good p…

That eInk display is so cool, thanks for sharing. It would definitely suit this sort of project. I agree that having images would make the project better. The problem would be downloading and decoding images from the iNat API with the limited memory capacity on an Arduino. I think the memory is too…

True. Maybe a Raspberry Pi setup might work better in that regard. Otherwise I guess most of the heavy lifting could be run somehow in the background on an actual computer then just pinged out to the Arduino (?) But yes, will let you know if I play around with similar setups this summer! …

Really cool project. I have been really impressed by BirdNET ( https://birdnet.cornell.edu ) which uses machine learning to identify bird calls. There is an API in development so would theoretically be possible to build a remote bird species identifier using a raspberry Pi.
