In this sequel, set 2 years after first contact with the "DIY motion controlled camera rig" young KZfaqr (Do It Whenever), the key to civilization's victory over a future robot uprising, is the target of the shape-shifting comment section.
Here's the basic BOM I used:

It would be nice to see a scaled down version of the rig. Cameras these days have become so good, light and compact that for many of us a rig capable of carrying such a large camera isn't necessary. Having the capabilities your rig has, just for a smaller camera, would be excellent. Easier to make, less cost for filament, perhaps some smaller, cheaper motors etc.

Thanks a bunch :) you can get away with a four axis shield if you didn't need the camera functions.. as I mentioned in the video the issue with my camera makes it difficult to use for programming but I already have some other ideas on upgrades that can utilize that free axis.... Two options are a motorized sled for the whole camera rig or a rotation axis for the camera.

Very interesting, thanks for also sunsrixing the things commenters suggested, I'll look into those. I was surprised you use ugs and edit manually as it's a program I know and I expected so e fancy custom thing. Your use is to program moves, mine is a bit different. One thing I was able to do was have just arduino with grbl and shield, then use a windows form application with USB serial port connection, it then sends a string of the code down the serial port. I was then able to easily make a custom ui in the program and set buttons to then send code to my camera system. Either way, very cool

@DoItWhenever Жыл бұрын

right now the base just has the 19v power supply going through the slip rings so I can rotate the whole rig without binding. I was thinking of replacing the Rpi with a NUC or similar type of small based windows machine. That would definitely open a few more doors for cool options to play with

@@DoItWhenever Oh man, that's really rich for an open source project. I might use both - Dragonframe for stop motion and bottango for live. What I like most about Dragonframe aside from the moco features is that it will "onionskin" frames, allowing you to overlay stop motion frames and play small segments as you go. Sure, it's $300, but one client will pay for that.

I'm definitely not an engineer :) My terminology might be wrong but I was hoping the graph on the screen would help display the concept... Both setups have the same running max speed it's just a matter of how long the rig takes to get to that speed and slow down from it.

Finnaly, really enjoyed that, well done, if you could please explain how you are moving the others three axis as Gcode Send only moves x, y and Z thanks

@DoItWhenever Жыл бұрын

Ugs does allow you to control A b and c access The only issue is you're not able to see them in the DRO... It makes it a tiny bit annoying to program a move but really not too bad. Before I program any move I zero all the axis and use absolute positioning. As long as you make a note of where you move A b and C are at it's not a problem. A nicer control solution would be really nice but this option is free for everybody and works immediately without any programming
