Pitches Nerds Track
summary
Home-built tortoise habitat uses Ikea glass cabinets, pine reinforcement and binder clips for insulation, with UVB lamps plus four heat sources (two always-on heat mats, two switchable ceramic emitters) controlled by Raspberry Pi Zero reading a Temper USB sensor. A Python cron job runs every 15 minutes, calls the OpenWeatherMap API, SFTPs logs to a self-hosted webserver and drives smart switches via IFTTT; live stream is at torts.danielvriemann.net and a Plotly.js dashboard (danielgreman.net/temperature) tracks temps. UPS provides five- to ten-minute backup before generator kick-in.
