ESP8266 WiFi Time lapse Camera

ESP8266 Time lapse WiFi Camera

When this started out I was actually going to make a motion triggered wireless camera. This quickly became a self challenge to see how long I would be able to run the camera on 3 AA rechargeable batteries taking pictures every 5 minutes.

Important Note!

This design operates at higher voltage than then the ESP8266 the rated for. Three fully charged Nickel Metal hydride AAA batteries typically produce at least 4volts.
BE AWARE THAT THERE IS RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE ESP MODULE.
!!DO NOT USE STANDARD ALKALINE BATTIRES!!
