This controller board (built around a Microchip 16F690 microcontroller) detects physical motion using a PIR (Pyroelectric Infrared) sensor, and when motion is detected the controller board turns on a camera, signals the camera to take a picture, and also triggers a slave flash if it's nighttime. A complete homemade trail camera unit run by the controller board will be on display. Winner of the IEEE Spectrum Competition.
