Panoramic Timelapse Rig

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

This was a quick experiment using a webcam and a raspberry pi to capture time-lapse footage.  We used the GPIO pins and a motor driver to trigger the stepper and capture the frame data from the webcam. The results were ok, but we found that the steps were not sufficient for a smooth video, a simple geared down servo would work much better.
