Concept
Construction of an open source rail for motion-controlled time lapse photography
Members Interested
Ingredients and Suppliers
- Arduino Uno
- Arduino Proto Shield (Use Arduino's own brand if following the developer's instructions, but this can be adapted to any prototyping shield.)
- Header Pins
- DB-9 Female Connector
- DB-9 Male Connector
- Wire, various colors
- 4 momentary pushbuttons, suitable for rugged case use. I used item 69755K31 from McMaster-Carr.
- DryLin W16-A Linear Motion System (Amazon.com)
- 1/4 - 20 Right Hand Acme Screw (Roton) You need about one meter. Order 40 inches and cut to fit. I ended up ordering two to make Roton's minimum order, and was glad when I screwed up cutting my first one.
- 1/4 - 20 Right Hand Acme Flange Nut (Roton)
- Small Heat Sink (Sparkfun)
- 7-Segment Serial Display (Sparkfun) I linked to the yellow version, but choose any color.
- Optoisolator with Darlington Driver (Sparkfun)
- 2 1KΩ Potentiometers (Parts Express)
- 2 3.5mm Stereo Panel Mount Jacks (Parts Express) Developer recommended these; but I went with beefier Switchcraft jacks.
- 2 Miniature Snap-Action Micro Switches with Lever (Parts Express)
- 2 knobs (Parts Express) Developer specified some other knob, but I love these chickenheads.
Directions and Plans
Developer Chris Field hosts his instructions on Sourceforge. Some of the written documentation is there.
Some of the documentation is only available in video form, at Vimeo.
