Welcome to the diel-light-pi wiki!

This code base has the software component required to run and build a portable locomotion activity monitor pLAM. For more detailed tutorials and guides refer to [https://osf.io/8p5kw/]

Overview

pLAM automates small animal circadian activity monitoring over any length of time under variable light conditions. It uses a Raspberry Pi (single board computer) and open source motion capture tools to monitor and detect insect motion in a small chamber. Unlike other software, we provide a pre-configured version of the software on a disk image of an SD card that can be cloned and be used to run the pLAM on the users raspberry Pi, although hardware assembly is still required.

Disk images and more guides are available at: https://osf.io/8p5kw/
