To build a Mothbox Pro, you will need these parts:

• Mothbox Mainboard - a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with most electronics already connected up for you! - $50
• Mothbeam Boards - Little, super bright, metal LEDs that plug in to your Mainboard (up to 3) - $5 each
• Raspberry Pi 5 4GB (or higher) - $75
• SD Card - 32GB or bigger, Class A1 or faster (A2 is nice) - $15
• Pi 5 RTC Battery - $8
• Talentcell PB1202b - You can actually use any battery between 9-36 V to power the mothbox (it’s more efficient around 12V), but for these tutorials we will use the main battery we use for all our devices, this one by Talentcell - $80
• 9-36V to 12V voltage Regulator - $15
• Arducam 64 MP Owlsight camera - $55 (Don’t get the “Hawkeye” older version of this camera if you can avoid it!)
• (Optional) Epaper Display (Waveshare 2.13in E-ink hat) - $15
• Barrel Jack Sockets (x2) - $2

Total Estimate: $330
