Overview

For timelapses 1-3, I had multiple headaches dealing with the weak-sauce ribbon-cable Pi camera. I dumped it for a more hefty, webcam-style USB camera. Photo:

Timelapse 4 Plan

First, let's start with what we like, and what we've accomplished:

Several things were accomplished with RaspberryPi/Timelapse3 (example: we were able to control the LED).
Can resurrect idea bucket, continue working on the weatherproofing ideas, now that the bottleneck has been removed (better camera)

Plan for weatherproof camera mount:

KISS
Mount it, use the cap that came with it, put a rubber gasket around it to protect from rain further
Don't worry about making it bomb-proof your first time. Just get the parts working in sync.

-I say, keep it simple, mount it, add the cap on, and a rubber layer around it if you want to protect it from rain.
