Build a motorized camera slider with Adafruit Feather and CircuitPython! Create HyperSmooth motion timelapse video with this build! Learn Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-motorized-camera-slider/ This project uses the Adafruit Feather platform and CircuitPython to make an easy to control motorized camera slider. The build uses aluminum extrusion to support a linear rail system with 3D printed parts. A camera can be mounted to the platform and slide along the rail. You may use the joystick and buttons to trigger different time settings presented on a mini TFT display. FeatherWings The mini TFT FeatherWing is perfect for selecting settings and displaying modes! The MotorWing provides the Feather M4 with stepper motor control and makes it easy to connect. A Tripler FeatherWing keeps everything in place and makes it modular. Features The program features four timing presets to select from using the joystick and switch. 5-min, 10-min, 20-min and 60-min. The status of the slider is displayed while it's in motion. Time remaining is also displayed alongside a nifty graphic and icon. When the slide is approaching the end, a STOP graphic is presented.

Every week, the team at Adafruit Industries dives into the tangible world of creation with their 3D Printing Projects podcast. Hosts Noe Ruiz and Pedro Ruiz guide you through the entire process of bringing a new idea to life, from initial concept in CAD software to the final, functional print. This isn't just theory; it's a hands-on audio workshop where you'll hear the details behind designing and fabricating practical items like custom electronic enclosures, detailed cosplay components, and clever camera modifications. The discussion focuses on the intersection of digital design and DIY electronics, offering clear explanations and project-specific insights that are valuable for both beginners and experienced makers. By listening, you gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate 3D printing into your own work, learning about material choices, design considerations, and troubleshooting along the way. The consistent weekly format means there's always a fresh, detailed project to explore, making this podcast a reliable source of inspiration and technical knowledge for anyone interested in the expanding possibilities of desktop manufacturing.
