Arduino - Timelapse

Using an arduino chip I programmed an application allowing you to capture time-lapse directly to your computer and move the camera over a specified amount of time. You specify the amount of seconds you want recorded and it does the work for you.

I was using Processing to make the app. Pretty soon I want to get a second Servo going so i can rotate on multiple axis.

Check out the short video test here.

   You beat me to it! I was thinking hard about this whilst on holiday at Christmas… but of course now that I’m back in the grind, I’ve not had time to experiment. I notice that the movement is quite coarse, is that a product of using a servo? How about using a stepper motor with gearing to get very fine movement increments?

   well done though, two axis will be nice to see.

   Yeah I think that’s the servo. I thought about using gearing to make more fine movements. It needs to be tweaked. I just need to have something strong enough to hold a camera.

   Let me know how you go if you get into it.
