A fundamental component of empirical research is the acquisition of accurate, consistent, and often significant amounts of data.Specifically, researchers often require large numbers of controlled and often parallel image and video recordings.For this the raspberry pi, a small, single-board computer that brings together open-source principles with sensor and controller interfaces, and highly customisable programming capabilities, provides a great, low cost solution.Indeed, in recent years, the raspberry pi has been increasingly taken up by the scientific community (Fletcher & Mura, 2019) and used in a wide range of projects that required the collection of high quality image data, from sub-micron resolution microscopy (Aidukas, Eckert, Harvey,
