ARDUINO CAMERA KIT INSTALL

To be able to convert the stepper motor rotational movement into linear movement, we need to install a GT2 Bore 5mm pulley on the motor shaft. and, using two M3X16mm screws we are gonna fix the plate on the left leg. On the left leg, insert two nuts inside the left leg top nuts place.īring the NEMA 17 motor plate ad fix it on the top of the left leg. then, using four M3X16mm screws we are gonna fix the motor in place. We need to install the NEMA 17 stepper motor on its plate. Get the two camera slider legs and push them into the V-slot profile.īring four M5X10mm screws, and fix the two legs with the V-slot profile. we need to connect the V-slot profile with the right and left legs of the camera slider. Let’s insert two drop-in tee nuts in each end of the V-slot profile. If you found that the plate is loose and wiggling, you can tighten the Eccentric nut until you get a solid plate. Now, insert the camera holder plate in the V-slot profile. We used Fusion360 to design the camera slider, we chose to use very well-known, easy-to-find mechanical components that you can buy easily from almost any online or offline store no matter where you live. This project Designed with makeability in a fablab/makerspace/hackerspace in mind.

Here comes the A4988 Pololu stepper motor driver role, which gives us five different microstep resolutions (down to 1/16 step) to achieve the maximum moving accuracy and movement smoothness. To control a stepper motor using the Arduino board, we need a translator that takes commands from the Arduino board and translate it to the language that the stepper motor understands. We used a NEMA17 stepper motor as an actuator so we can control how many steps do we need the camera slider to move. which means, you are free to build your actual camera slider with any length up to 10 meters without worrying about the app. The mobile app is very robust, inside the app you can set your camera slider length which you are using. I used the “MIT App inventor” tool to make the app which gives us the ability to control a lot of stuff like the slider movement speed, traveling distance, acceleration/deceleration rate and a lot more. Today we will build a motorized camera slider that we can control it wirelessly over Bluetooth from a custom-made android mobile app. GT2 Bore 5mm 20 Teeth Timing Aluminum Pulley GT2 Bore 8mm 20 Teeth Timing Aluminum Pulley M3 Allen HEX screws length 16mm with nutsĨmm Self-aligning Pillow Flange Block Bearing Low Profile M5 screws length 20mm with nuts
