Xenolab - Rasp Pi monitor for my pet carnivorous plants
The Xenolab Rasp Pi Monitor is a cutting-edge, semi-autonomous biosurveillance module engineered for the precise care and observation of exotic carnivorous flora.
⚠️ WARNING: MONITORING TRIFFIDS
The Xenolab Rasp Pi Monitor is not certified for use with Triffids or other semi-sentient, ambulatory flora. Historical data suggests a high incidence of operator attrition and catastrophic habitat compromise when engaging with such species. While the system may successfully log preliminary biometric data, prolonged monitoring is statistically correlated with acute reductions in observer longevity.
