Hi,
First of all I want to say Hey to everyone here since I'm a new forum user
Camera/mount
I'm currently in the planning phase of my cameracontrol project. The goal is to control a camera (Cannon 7D) through its USB-interface (aperture, shutter speed, etc). In addition I want to control a tripod mount with 2 stepper motors so that it can rotate the camera around 2 axis. The current angle should att all times be given by two "angualar sensors" (like feedback).
I also want to be able to communicate with the Arduino through Bluetooth (comp or phone).
Current list of hardware
EasyDriver v4.4 (Stepper-controller)
Stepper Motor
ArduinoBoardADK (with USB)
Bluetooth
The size of the componens doesnt matter too much! (ofc it doesn't hurt to shrink some of them if possible).
My question
Is the hardware working and suitable for my needs?
Is there better configurations to run this setup ?
Anyone know any good "angual sensors" ? (360 deg without rotation limitaions ). So that you can turn then from 360 to 0 direclty.
0-359 360 0 1 2 3 4 5 deg etc. Here size does matter and I want them to be as smal as possible
All types of tips, hints and constructive criticism are welcome
(English is not my native language so if anything is unclear just comment )
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
