Custom timelapse rig for filming plants and mushrooms growing

I wanted to photograph plants for over on the new channel, but my little intervalometer just wasn't giving me what I needed. It's a great intervalometer that has never failed me, but this project just requires something that it can't give me. Computer-controlled lighting!
This video is sort of a high-level overview of the gear that I'm using and how it all works together to allow me to produce the timelapse I'm creating over on Growlapse, which you can see here...
