Turn a Raspberry Pi into a bat detection device!

Turn a Raspberry Pi into a bat detection device!

Different to the usual Raspberry Pi robots and arcade machines, this device is rather unique. The Raspberry Pi Foundation blogged about it earlier this week and that’s where I spotted it.

Two makers over in Germany called Henrike and Holger Körber have managed to make a bat detection device that uses a Raspberry Pi. They’ve used a very sensitive microphone that can pick up a wide range of frequencies. Combined with software it can:

– Track and record bat frequencies
– Identity bat species
– and plenty more!

The team behind it have provided everything you need to know to get started with this project such as how to identify bat species and much more!
