Starter Kit: Camera Slider

The Starter Kit: Camera Slider allows a automatic and fluid linear motion of photo- and video-cameras. With the provided demo application you can control the slider freely and make automatic time lapse shoots. An easy API can be used to integrate the camera slider into you own project. This means that the kit can be used as a general purpose axis for linear motion.

The kit is build from MakerBeams. Other Beams can be attached easily. This makes it easy to construct your own brackets that can hold other devices. This means that the kit can be used as a general purpose axis for linear motion.

A Stepper Brick moves the cart with millimeter precision and it can be extended with other Bricks and Bricklets. It is for example possible to automatically trigger the camera with a Industrial Quad Relay Bricklet. A RED Brick together with a HDMI touchscreen can be used to implement an autonomous solution that can be controlled via touchscreen.
