Developing several products on the Raspberry Pi platform.* One uses multispectral imaging to identify chlorophyll (contained in dung) on beef at the slaughterhouse to facilitate removal. Working on two different versions: handheld and wall-mounted. This is being written in C++ as I am capturing images from two cameras and timing is critical.* The other connects to residential and commercial garage doors (up to four) to monitor and control opening/closing/light. It also provides temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide monitoring as well as video and PIR-triggered imaging. Alerts are emailed to the user. Developing an Android application so the user can use these features from their mobile device. The web code is being developed in Python and Django on a MySQL database
