Raspberry Pi 5 Ant Observation System System Extension Requirements & Feature Specification Document PRIMARY HARDWARE DOCUMENT STATUS Raspberry Pi 5 (Dual Cameras + GPIO) Final Requirements Review TARGET INTEGRATIONS Open WebUI / Python CV / Telegram This document outlines the confirmed inclusions and optional enhancements for expanding the Raspberry Pi 5 macro-filming and computer vision formicarium monitoring setup. 1. CONFIRMED SCOPE (INCLUDED FEATURES) FEATURE STATUS Escape Prevention Alert System INCLUDED Waste Tracking Features INCLUDED Real-Time Food-Weight Tracking INCLUDED Desktop Visual Dashboard INCLUDED Daily Health Checks with Logging INCLUDED Multi-Formicarium Tracking INCLUDED Daily Telegram Summary INCLUDED IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS Automated breach detection sensors and computer vision monitoring to immediately notify upon escape attempts. Computer-vision tracking to identify and log debris/refuse pile building and disposal patterns within outworld/nest zones. Integration with micro load cell sensors on feeding platforms to measure food consumption dynamics continuously. A live visual user interface on the primary desktop displaying real-time metrics, telemetry, and camera feeds. Automated diagnostic routines for camera modules, sensors, and system processes with structured activity logging. System architecture expansion to simultaneously monitor and log activity across a second formicarium / nest unit. Automated daily status digest, metrics snapshot, and key alerts dispatched directly to the Telegram updates channel. 2. OPTIONAL / CONDITIONAL FEATURES FEATURE STATUS Automated Database Backups OPTIONAL NOTES & TECHNICAL CLARIFICATIONS Scheduled background snapshots of sensor metrics, computer vision logs, and configuration state.FEATURE STATUS NOTES & TECHNICAL CLARIFICATIONS Custom Macro Lighting Effects OPTIONAL Programmable lighting controls for macro imaging. Fully compatible with Infrared (IR) camera capture pipelines. Passage Ant Traffic Analysis OPTIONAL Narrow-passage motion tracking module (part of the overall multi-ant computer vision tracking system). Hardware Compatibility Note: The Raspberry Pi 5 directly accommodates both camera CSI ribbon connections alongside additional GPIO sensors (load cells, IR sensors, ambient probes) and USB peripheral expansions without requiring a second Pi controller board. 3. HARDWARE & INTEGRATION SUMMARY Hardware Layer • • • • Host: Raspberry Pi 5 Imaging: 2x Camera modules (CSI / IR support) Probes: Micro load cells (food weight), escape sensors Lighting: Controllable macro/IR illumination Software & Integration Layer • Vision Pipeline: Multi-ant & waste tracking scripts • Logging & Diagnostics: Daily health checks + local logs • Output Channels: Desktop visual dashboard & Telegram bot
