Software for an motorized and Arduino controlled DIY 3D-printed Camera Dolly. The Dolly is designed to carry also quite heavy SLR cameras or system cameras with bigger lenses.
The Dolly is driven by a tiny 28BYJ-48 Stepper motor and powered by a battery pack with two 18650 lion cells in parallel. The battery pack includes a charging circuit and a little stepup converter to provide 5V for Arduino and the motor. For operating a 2x16 LCD screen, a rotary encoder and a push button is built in.
