Spanish newbie (with a couple of CNC projects for photography)

[ECardenal]

All what matters in motion (for this project) is speed. I'm not sure what speeds I may obtain with the different options, so I will try them all. I need quite slow movement. Surely I will learn a lot! ;)

I just ordered:

• a modified servo (with high torque)
• a geared motor that runs a mere 8 RPM.
• a timing belt and pulley
• Arduino Mega
• Serial I2C LCD display
• Motor shield (It drives servo, DC motor or stepper motor)
• Relay (for shooting the camera)
• Breadboard for prototyping
• 12V lead battery 3.3Ah

For the rail system I ordered 1m rail and bearings. The rest of the structure will be aluminum. Sure it will be a bit heavy, but must be rigid and enough to support the camera + lens + the future pan & tilt head.

Also I'm looking for ways of making a pan and tilt head for the second part of the project. I think a gimbal type of mount may do the job.



or something more like this:


and ..... I also ordered three NEMA17 steppers, controller and 12V PSU. I surely will make a CNC table for panel making, etc. This with ballscrew drive on all axis. Not decided the size yet... but that's another story ;)

Thanks again for the answers...
