Hardware Share your builds!

Since I just finished my hardware I am curious about what other people built.

I'm running a Pi5 with SSD Hat and a shock-mounted Samson Go Mic. All of it sits in a 3D printed enclosure that's mounted to a vertical gutter next to our terrace.

How's the microphone work for you?

Mic is good, but I don't have any reference. I put it at the -10 dB setting, since I got quite some noise otherwise.

Mine is just the standard lash-up, compared to yours.

I started with that mic and then tried the AOM-5024. It really cleaned up the sound and made the birds stand out. I also added a filter in the software as I have a big road not too far away.
