Make your own Motorized Camera Slider (Part 2) - the electronics

I explained it there nevertheless I then connected the two limit switches to pin 7 and 8 which will connect the input pins to ground once the switch is activated and completed the electronic circuits whooping AAA 4 9 8 8 stepper motor I see it was connected to the Arduino according to the schematic that I had drawn for those projects with the help of the free easy EDA circuit design software link is in the description at the end I hooked up the stepper motor and the 12-volt lead acid battery power source and at this point it was time for the software port which ultimately turned out to be quite a long Arduino sketch after uploading it's the LCD it presents the two important modes or p.m. modes and time modes in rpm modes the motor rotates with a specific rpm which can be adjusted even while moving and the motor also reverses its direction of rotation if the required limit switch got activated in time out though I can set a time in which the platform should travel Eva from left to right or right to left again the limit switch is act as an indicator when the platform is all the way left or right once I was happy with the results of the software portage I gathered all the required components created a kappa dot perf boards with dimensions of 7 by 5 centimeters installed the soldering with the Arduino Nano in a time span of one hour added the remaining icing sockets and connected all the pins among each other according to the previously created schematic loops of a copper wire and flexible wire and if you want to build something similar you can find the codes this schematic and other information as always in the video description after the circuit was complete I added a thicker wire roof cable shoes to the VN pin of the Arduino for the battery and used the 1/2 3D design software to create a mounting for the electronics once the five-hour printing process of the Delta 3D printer was over I removed the support material of the prints which we had some rather unpleasant looking spots but nevertheless I continued by drilling three millimeter holes for the LCD year mounted dates both false and nuts so with the seven millimeter hole for the rotary encoder mounted that as well to a three millimeter holes for the perf ports and finally connected the external components to the perf boards before attaching that to the 3D prints since the first powerup of the circuit was successful it was time for the wiring of the limit switches for that I simply pushed three thin stiff wires through one pipe solder them to the underside of one limit switch used a piece of paper as an insulator between the aluminum and the solder joints and secured all roof bolts and nuts I repeated this attaching procedure for the limit switch on the other side's position the mounting for the electronics at the end of the platform to two or three millimeter holes through its and ultimately hooked up the motor wires and limit switches to the circuits before attaching it permanently to the mounting and the mounting then to the platform in theory year this project was complete but I was not really happy with the results with an RPM of 100 the camera swings just a bit near the limit switches but rather intensely in the middle with a low RPM or 40 u this effect decreases but still delivers unusable footage the reason are the weak pipes which cannot handle this kind of weight and forces so I got my cell those stainless steel rods with a diameter of eight millimeters as well I simply shortened the existing steel pipes relocated them on the other side of the platform's increase the three millimeter mounting holes to four millimeter in order to attach four crossbar holders to the aluminum secure the rods in place with M5 bolts and extended the timing belt system of the movable platform with 60 millimeter long pieces of threaded rods now the final results are still not perfect especially not in the middle section but the area around the limit switches does actually deliver some decent footage and if you're interested in time lapses then make sure to subscribe to my second channel I will hopefully post some soon over there as always thanks for watching don't forget to Like share and subscribe stay creative and I will see you next time

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enlet's bring this project to an end after I treated the stainless steel pipes with sandpaper the ball bearings literal smoothly over them so I attached them back onto both stationary plates next I positioned the limit switches checked while the limit bolts would activate them which they did and to secure them to the moving platform afterwards I positioned the stepper motor and mounted with 4 m3 bolts right before attaching the pulley onto the motor shaft as a counterpart for the pulley the other stationary platform received a 40 millimetre long m5 bolt which was secured firmly whuppin outs and a bit of Loctite then follow the novel nuts washer to thank ball bearings another washer and finally a nut onto the border as well since the pulley had a distance of roughly one centimeter from its platform I fine-tune the location of the ball bearing to achieve a similar distance the only missing component for the motor system was the timing belts for which the small aluminum piece that I created earlier was necessary I positioned it in the middle of the platform marked the two required jewel holds and created them were 5 millimeter drill next I secured 240 millimeter long m5 bolts to the platform with nuts aníbal of rock tights place the small aluminum piece onto them and mark the spots where the timing belts would collide with the metal I used those markings as a reference to create slits with my metal saw in which the timing belts would fit snugly at the end of the slits four millimeter holds red words which can be used to squeeze the timing belt between two spring washers and thus secured in place then I simply position the aluminum piece on top of two nuts tensioned the timing belts while mounting it to the other sides and completed the motor system by adding two nuts on top and after successful test of moving the platform of the timing belts it was time for the electronics the heart of the system was as always an Arduino Nano for the display I went with this common 16 by two LCD year which has a PC f8 five seven four on the back which means we only need the I squared C pins a four and a five of the Arduino two controllers but speaking of control I use the rotary encoder whoop integrated push-button as the main inputs in combination with two capacitors and a symmetry I see for the bouncing I connected it spins to the interrupt pins two and three of the Arduino and if you're completely confused now and wonder how a rotary encoder works then have a look at my DIY FM radio project I explained it there nevertheless I then connected the two limit switches to pin 7 and 8 which will connect the input pins to ground once the switch is activated and completed the electronic circuits whooping AAA 4 9 8 8 stepper motor I see it was connected to the Arduino according to the schematic that I had drawn for those projects with the help of the free easy EDA circuit design software link is in the description at the end I hooked up the stepper motor and the 12-volt lead acid battery power source and at this point it was time for the software port which ultimately turned out to be quite a long Arduino sketch after uploading it's the LCD it presents the two important modes or p.m. modes and time modes in rpm modes the motor rotates with a specific rpm which can be adjusted even while moving and the motor also reverses its direction of rotation if the required limit switch got activated in time out though I can set a time in which the platform should travel Eva from left to right or right to left again the limit switch is act as an indicator when the platform is all the way left or right once I was happy with the results of the software porridge I gathered all the required components created a kappa dot perf boards with dimensions of 7 by 5 centimeters installed the soldering with the Arduino Nano in a time span of one hour added the remaining icy sockets and connected all the pens among each other according to the previously created schematic loops of a copper wire and flexible wire and if you want to build something similar you can find the codes this schematic and other information as always in the video description after the circuit was complete I added a thicker wire roof cable shoes to the VN pin of the Arduino for the battery and used the 1/2 3d design software to create a mounting for the electronics once the five-hour printing process of the Delta 3d printer was over I removed the support material of the prints which we had some rather unpleasant looking spots but nevertheless I continued by drilling three millimeter holes for the LCD year mounted dates both false and nuts so with the seven millimeter hole for the rotary encoder mounted that as well to a three millimeter holes for the perf ports and finally connected the external components to the perf boards before attaching that to the 3d prints since the first powerup of the circuit was successful it was time for the wiring of the limit switches for that I simply pushed three thin stiff wires through one pipe sold them to the underside of one limit switch used a piece of paper as an insulator between the aluminum and the solder joints and secured all roof bolts and nuts I repeated this attaching procedure for the limit switch on the other side's position the mounting for the electronics at the end of the platform to a two or three millimeter holes through its and ultimately hooked up the motor wires and limit switches to the circuits before attaching it permanently to the mounting and the mounting then to the platform and in theory year this project was complete but I was not really happy with the results with an RPM of 100 the camera swings just a bit near the limit switches but rather intensely in the middle with a low RPM or 40 u this effect decreases but still delivers unusable footage the reason are the weak pipes which cannot handle this kind of weight and forces so I got my cell those stainless steel rods with a diameter of eight millimeters as well I simply shortened the existing steel pipes relocated them on the other side of the platform's increase the three millimeter mounting holes to four millimeter in order to attach four crossbar holders to the aluminum secure the rods in place with m5 bolts and extended the timing belt system of the movable platform with 60 millimeter long pieces of threaded rods now the final results are still not perfect especially not in the middle section but the area around the limit switches does actually deliver some decent footage and if you're interested in time lapses then make sure to subscribe to my second channel I will hopefully post some soon over there as always thanks for watching don't forget to Like
