Mini camera slider driven by an Arduino
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Project outline.
The goal is to be able to move a camera on a linear rail driven by a stepper motor. The stepper motor will move a camera forward for a very small distance (about 1/100th of an inch) and then stop. The camera will take a photo (this will be triggered by the relay) and then the stepper motor will move the camera forward again. there will also need to be an override to control the stepper motor for fast movement up and down the rail. This will be done with a small joystick. The rail also need limit switches.
Components:
elegoo uno R3
relay JQC-3FF-S-Z 5VDC
Joystick 2-Axis analogue control
