miniE - 2x16 UI and minimal engine

Hello,

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 a minimalist design providing all the necessary features to do shoot-move-shoot or continuous timelapse with a built-in UI. The 1st version of this code was heavily inspired by the OpenMoCo Engine by C.A. Church and is basically based on it. Thank you for your great work and help!

Thanks to ozeraser for contributing and for the version 0.10! miniE is now compatible with Arduino SDK v1.0.

OpenMoco TimeLapse Engine 0.82 Released

After several months of experimentation and hard work, we are proud to announce the release of version 0.82 of the OpenMoco TimeLapse Engine. Of course, the engine still runs on the inexpensive and easy-to-buy Arduino platform, but we've expanded all of the existing capabilities and added new features to the engine that set it apart from any other open-source moco sketch you'll find, while making it more stable and useful for the timelapse experimenter.

The OpenMoco Reference Design

Here on the OpenMoco.org website, you'll find a number of open-source, free, and user-contributed software and hardware designs.  The core focus of the OpenMoco system is the Official OpenMoco Reference Design.  This design includes the system architecture, the system software components, and the system hardware components.

Documentation is incomplete, and there may be bugs, but stop on in, sign up for an account, and let us know what you think!

What's not done?

  • Further code optimization - several flags need to be rolled into single bytes
  • Complete documentation
  • ... and probably another hundred things I can't remember!
