![]() ![]() Controlling the motors directly from the Moteino makes sense for at least three reasons simplification, increased power and torque, and extended movement control. In addition from the limit switches and the integrated motor drivers, it is bound by the requirement to work with both batteries and wallwarts, use a wired remote and implement basic automated panning.Īnd since we are already using a microcontroller with some power and programming capabilities, it is only natural to move all functionality to the internal logic and eliminate the superfluos electronics in the Bescor. But as production costs dictate, the resulting product mates quite a mechanically sound platform with less than stellar control electronics. ![]() It makes for an interesting read – for what it sets out to be, it is a wonderful product in its original form. Within that same post, there are links to the patent applications for the inner workings of the Bescor. This post is bound to be longer, so bear with me.Ī few writings back, I elaborated on our choice for the Bescor MP-101 as the basis for the project. …but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Speeding up and slowing down is great and all, but can the platform move the camera along with itself? As it stands, it needs to be able to safely move around a loaded DSLR camera with a typical lens, an external monitor, zoom and focus motors, a cage to mount all these to, control boxes with the electronics to run the whole thing… ![]() Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive? …so if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive, ![]()
