[APML] A Robotic Film Camera, first prototype

["Chris Schur" <cschur@therim.com>]

Hi All,

Here is a project that has been consuming me for a few weeks, the prototype
for a fully robotic microcontroller controlled film camera for routinely
shooting the night sky for hours on end, with no human intervention.  At
this point, the mechanical assembly is done, and I have many hours in front
of me building the electronics control panel and programming the micro, but
I think you'll agree, its going to be awesome when done. Here is what I have
so far, try not to laugh too much!  Click on the thumbnail for a series of
detailed images...
