Arduino controlled photogrammetry 3D-scanner

thingiverse

I upgraded my hand-cranked turntable to include a stepper motor for cinematic shots and 360-degree photo capture. The new design incorporates features that make it more functional than a regular turntable. One of the key improvements is the addition of a Bluetooth remote, which allows users to control the camera remotely using a smartphone connected to the remote inside the turntable. I chose this solution because Apple devices often have trouble connecting to HC-05 and HC-06 Bluetooth modules. The user can adjust the number of photos taken from 2 to 200 through the Arduino program. These images can be converted into 3D models later using photogrammetry software, which I use is Autodesk Recap Photo. In addition to photo capture, the turntable also features a joystick for manual control and a DC-DC step-down regulator for power supply management. The stepper motor driver and controller are connected to the Arduino board, allowing for precise motor control. The design includes a 3D-printed housing with a removable top plate for easy access to the electronics. I used a variety of materials, including aluminum and PVC, to create a sturdy and durable structure. I've made my project files available for free so that others can build their own turntables.
