<p>Build a motorized camera slider with Adafruit Feather and CircuitPython! Create HyperSmooth motion timelapse video with this build!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/v48WJUa1awA"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>Learn Guide: <a href="https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-motorized-camera-slider/">https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-motorized-camera-slider/</a></p> <p>This project uses the Adafruit Feather platform and CircuitPython to make an easy to control motorized camera slider. The build uses aluminum extrusion to support a linear rail system with 3D printed parts. A camera can be mounted to the platform and slide along the rail. You may use the joystick and buttons to trigger different time settings presented on a mini TFT display.</p> <p>FeatherWings</p> <p>The mini TFT FeatherWing is perfect for selecting settings and displaying modes! The MotorWing provides the Feather M4 with stepper motor control and makes it easy to connect. A Tripler FeatherWing keeps everything in place and makes it modular.</p> <p>Features</p> <p>The program features four timing presets to select from using the joystick and switch. 5-min, 10-min, 20-min and 60-min. The status of the slider is displayed while it's in motion. Time remaining is also displayed alongside a nifty graphic and icon. When the slide is approaching the end, a STOP graphic is presented.</p> <p>Circuit Python code by Liz Clark (@BlitzCityDIY)<br/> <a href="https://www.twitter.com/BlitzCityDIY">https://www.twitter.com/BlitzCityDIY</a><br/> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/BlitzCityDIY">https://www.instagram.com/BlitzCityDIY</a><br/> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbAUKL7V6OOGumQEeDMYQvQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbAUKL7V6OOGumQEeDMYQvQ</a></p> <p>Code on GitHub<br/> <a href="https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/blob/master/CircuitPython_Slider/code.py">https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/blob/master/CircuitPython_Slider/code.py</a></p> <p>Download CAD source<br/> <a href="http://a360.co/2AMIomg">http://a360.co/2AMIomg</a></p> <p>Full Tutorial<br/> <a href="https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-motorized-camera-slider/">https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-motorized-camera-slider/</a></p> <p>Feather M4<br/> <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3857">https://www.adafruit.com/product/3857</a></p> <p>Motor FeatherWing<br/> <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/2927">https://www.adafruit.com/product/2927</a></p> <p>Stepper Motor<br/> <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/324">https://www.adafruit.com/product/324</a></p> <p>Mini TFT FeatherWing<br/> <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3321">https://www.adafruit.com/product/3321</a></p> <p>Tripler FeatherWing<br/> <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3417">https://www.adafruit.com/product/3417</a></p> <p>12V Battery Pack<br/> <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/875">https://www.adafruit.com/product/875</a></p>
