CircuitPython Camera Slider

thingiverse

Here is the rewritten text: The Adafruit Feather platform and CircuitPython make it easy to control a motorized camera slider. The build uses aluminum extrusion for a linear rail system with 3D printed parts. A camera can be mounted to the platform and slide along the rail. You can use the joystick and buttons to trigger different time settings shown on a mini TFT display. The mini TFT FeatherWing is perfect for selecting settings and displaying modes! The MotorWing provides the Feather M4 with stepper motor control, making it easy to connect. A Tripler FeatherWing keeps everything in place and makes it modular. The program features four timing presets: 5-min, 10-min, 20-min, and 60-min. You can select these using the joystick and switch. The status of the slider is displayed while it's in motion. Time remaining is also shown alongside a graphic and icon. When the slide approaches the end, a STOP graphic appears. You can choose to back up or go into reverse mode at the end of a slide. This makes it convenient to start a new timelapse! CircuitPython code by Liz Clark (@BlitzCityDIY) is available on GitHub. You can download CAD source files from A360. The Feather M4, Motor FeatherWing, Mini TFT FeatherWing, Tripler FeatherWing, stepper motor, and 12V battery pack are all available for purchase.
