DIY Timelapse Dolly rig powered by Arduino and Open. Moco Part 1. After seeing several Timelapses with movement in them I decided it was time to build myself a Dolly to give my shots some movement. After doing a few googles I found a few images of a simple but easy to build setup on flickr linkThis was enough to give me an idea of what the dolly build should be like, however i still wasnt sure how i should control the dolly and stepper motor or drive the dolly, or even if I had the skills. I have previously played with arduino but really only got as far as led light flashing The video cannot be shown at the moment. The technology builds on Touch ID and is called Face ID, of course. It uses a new selfie camera setup in the iPhone 10 called the TrueDepth camera system. Photographic cameras roots go deep. Everything started with the camera obscura, and continued with Daguerreotypes, 35mm cameras, digital cameras and camera phones.

Sony Nex camera see my previous postI was fairly lost at how to ramp up to a motorised dolly system, thankfully core moran over at openmoco The Open Source Photographic Motion Controll Community has been working on a ripper sketchapplication called Mini.

So At this point i realise i should be capable to get a motor working, but i wasnt sure how i would make the dolly move from the motor. My first thought was a worm drive system like you see in the cnc system like The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later. However worm drives are mega expensive 2. This is the first prototype of the system to ensure that my idea does work The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later. Confirmed that my theory will work i decided it was time to grab some bits and pieces Stepper motor This is a Spark. Super Winpe 2004 Iso. Fun ROB 0. 92. 38 Stepper motor link I got it from protogear in Australia. I also got a driverboard to drive the motor This is another Spark. Fun part the Easy Driver link again i got it from Proto. Gear link here in Australia. You could in theory build your own stepper motor driver but personalyl I found this much easier. I also needed a protoboard, a place to put all my components. Another Sparkfun item the Protoshield. Kit Links Sparkfun Protogear AU, Keep in mind here that to put it together you need to solder it. Dont be scared tho, if i can do it so can you. I also grabbed 2 items off ebay each below 2. A new Arduino Duemilanove I wanted to grab this for two reasons, firstly i wanted to continue using my other Arduino and the LCD shield below said it needed a Duemilanove or newer. DFrobot or chinese clone LCD display and keypad. This is what the Openmoco Mini. E needs for interaction, and at 2. In addition to these items i have a 1. Aircrack 2 3 Windows Media. More Voices For Balabolka Android here. Volt battery 9. Amp hour to power the motor and a cheapish 2. I regret this now its well worth getting a decent one soldering iron, wire, solder etc. When the parts started to arrive my first fear was realised, soldering tiny parts with a big cheap soldering iron. Normally you would use something called a set of helping hands However as per normal no one in Adelaide Australia had any. So i had to construct my own crazy setup to try and hold the items when i was soldering I finished soldering it, as expected it wasnt perfect but it had nice clean joints and worked when testing tested and soldered following this tutorial ATTN read below before following tutorial. ATTN After test mounting this board later with the easy driver i found the buttons and test point in the way and had to remove them, so if your soldering honestly all i would solder is the row of pins either side. Also another reason not to buy and use a cheap soldering iron, after only about 1hrs of use it started melting and getting really hot. So after successfully soldering the protoshield it was time to give controlling the stepper motor a go. It is wiredconnected up as per the awesome Buildr Tutorial link. This is what you hopefully end up with The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later. From here I altered the above tutorials code so it would continue to run in a single direction and test it with my sudo worm drive system, this is the real prototype of the setup. All of a sudden i realised that I had no way to couple the stepper motor to the threaded rod. After speaking to Chucky Santosh at work he told me about a way to not only couple the drive shaft to the rod, using a piece of pipe and some hose clamps. He informed me of the additional benefit of not requiring the threaded rod to be exactly center due to the flex in the pipe, this also stops the motor bearings from wearing out. Here is a video of the prototype in action The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later. This is the end of Part 1, I thought this is long enough, in the coming days i will upload the next part showing the dolly coming together. Hopefully this helps you get an idea of what is involved and will let you know where to start.
