MakerSlide Camera Slider control Program
Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2011 2:37 pm
A couple people have been using my slider design, but wanted a simple controller. I made a simple Arduino program that can control a stepper motor. It allows you to program speed and acceleration for each move. You can even store a 2 dozen line move program in EEPROM to later activate in the field. There is a cheesy video showing it in use. View the video in hi res and full screw if you want to be able to read the Arduino Menu.
The code (linked in post) might also be a starting point for other simple motor control applications on the Arduino.
It uses a timer interrupt to keep the motion very smooth and reliable.
