OpenMoCo

nanoMoCo boards and the OpenMoCo Development Framework are now available!  nanoMoCo is a complete single-axis stepper driver/controller that is compatible with the Arduino IDE and development framework.  Want more than one axis? MoCoBus allows real-time synchronization with up to 253 total devices - which can be other nanoMoCo devices, or anything which can speak the MoCoBus protocol.  

 
 
DSControl is a processing based application that allows to for independent axis control of the DS2000 head(aka Milapse head) with the old Meade #497 controller(same setup posted on the TimeIsMotion project page(http://openmoco.org/node/25). The software allows the user to pick the starting and ending points of the timelapse by pusically moving the head using the 497 controller or by using the built in control buttons in the application. Based on the start and end point in both pan and tilt and the duration entered by the user, the software then calculates the speed for both axis. The user can then use the selector buttons on the far right of the application to trigger the motion in both axis, essentially to start the timelapse process.

Project Chronos 1.0 is no longer supported and replaced by Project Chronos 2.0

miniE is an engine sketch to provide control over a single stepper motor and camera, using an Arduino and DFRobot LCD Keypad shield. It is an open design providing all the necessary features to do shoot-move-shoot or continuous timelapse with a built-in UI. The 1st version of the code was inspired by the OpenMoCo Engine by C.A. Church and is basically based on it - Thank you for your great work and help! The project has evolved since its first version and is now a standalone software/hardware solution. The aim of the system is to be as flexible as possible. For this lightweight engine, full system control is possible out in the field without extra hardware. 

Version 1.1 (fully non-blocking)

My name is Brian Burling and I am starting a new company called - eMotimo

The first product, eMotimo PT, a two axis motion control device that sits between your tripod and your DSLR or Video Camera. Right now, it does point A to Point B time lapse shots with a simple 3 minute setup. It will trigger DSLR shutters or move video cameras in smooth profiles.

eMotimo PT's design criteria were to be:

User Friendly - You use a Nunchuck and LCD screen for prompt driven setup. No computer is required.
Portable and Lightweight - Without a battery, the unit weighs in at around 5 lbs.

Introduction
Timelapse Calculator was designed to help one decide the appropriate interval settings for timelapse applications. The unique thing about Timelapse Calculator compared to others you might find online is it's user specified dynamic interface.
This allows one to input the data that they already know, for example, the actual time you wish to allocate to shoot the timelapse sequence. Then the Timelapse Calculator does the rest of the thinking (or suggesting) for you. This allows for quick intuitive calculations so you can get the shots you want before the scenery changes and the moment passes.

iPhone Version (New)
Thanks Simon Loffer for his slick, and much more portable take on the Original Timelapse Calculator. Follow this link to download the iPhone app.

After you've selected the motor type appropriate for your project, it's time to move to the next stage of building your first motion control rig: gear selection.  Unless you've bought a motor with an attached gearbox (and even if you have, in some cases), it's time to figure out exactly how you intend transfer power from the motor into your final motion.  Just like the process of selecting a motor, you'll need to first examine your requirements, and how they might change over time.  In this article, we'll walk through the basic process of selecting the proper gear train, and the different factors that should affect your decision.

The basic factors to consider are: building vs. buying, complexity, gear ratio, precision, and braking requirements.
