DIY Time-Lapse rig vol 2

So I have finally had time to think about my rig! So bought the slider I got it from a company in Aus called Treotham Automation Pty Ltd.

It is a DryLin® N low profile guide systems NW 40 = 40 mm rail width.

I could have gone for a bigger rail and slid like most people but this one was cheaper, light weight and portable. Only problem could be it will bend if theres alot of weight on it... without a support underneath.

Heres some photo's from the test circuit I have built on the bread board to control my stepper motor and camera. I'm going to build it into a smaller board and whack it in a project box when I've got my rig built.

Tested it with the moco software and the motor steps... awesome!

Was watching this video on the Marshill Creative blog



and as a result took it upon myself to create a time lapse rig which tracks from left to right.

My plan is to update as I go and hopefully to come up with a tutorial that is a bit more assessable.  Than all the ones I have found on the web.

In my search I have come across some cool forums with tutorials etc which have helped quiet a bit in the whole process openmoco the major help.
