I strongly believe in the need for appliances to have GUI.

I plan to use this space for slider motor driver. Room for growth is always nice! However if all you want is to control the Bescor head alone, Arduino Uno should suffice. I decided to go with Mega as opposed to Uno because price difference is negligible and I do not mind extra size.

TB6612FNG motor driver, datasheet, sample.

15-tooth, 5mm bore pulley for GT2 timing belt.

GT2 timing belt (6mm wide) with pulleys (20-tooth, 5mm bore).

This also means that the position of the carriage will be unknown and its movement speed will be hard(er) to control. Therefore I decided to go with a DC motor. I suspect a (cheap) stepper motor will be too jerky and/or loud which is not good for video shooting. EDIT: Found it! This is Glide Gear DEV 1000. I already own a cheapo slider from Craigslist, which looks something like this.

USB Pan Tilt Controller with Sony LANC (S-Link) interface.

Bescor MP-101 Wireless Bluetooth Controller.Here are few sources related to use of this PT-head as a platform for application development: Connect head to the controller using 7-pin DIN cable.The head can be powered by 4xAA batteries, but external power connector is also available. It is almost affordable (I've got a used one for $80), adequately silent, and can be controlled externally, using Arduino's PWM outputs. Instead of building a pant/tilt head from scratch (which is totally an option, given that I do not need tilt that much! well, maybe later), I will use Bescor MP-101.

Feel free to correct me!ĭisclaimer 2: This is a work in progress. And I love it! I make mistakes and some of my statements could be wrong. Some of those components (slider or head) I already own.ĭisclaimer 1: I am neither electrical nor mechanical engineer and I learn as I go. In my approach to hardware design I will rely on the affordable off-the-shelf components.
