I am looking for help with a pan and tilt mechanism using any of the basic stamps and their BS0710 dual stepper motor controller.
I have all the parts already but find that it is a steep learning curve for me, I have done only a little programming of the basic stamps before.
The goal is to have a automatic pan and tilt mechanism which moves to any point (limited to a quarter hemisphere) and after a certain time moves on to a new coordinate.
This program of 'visiting points' would go on indefinetly and automatically. But it should be easy to change the routine to other points and different pauses, since this information will be subject to change in the future.
So there are two parts to this problem, one is to write the program which makes the steppers behave and allow for easy data entry using, lets say, polar coordinates.
The second part is to then enter the desired polar coordinates and the pauses, which is probably trivial compared to the first problem of making the steppers to behave.
Does anyone here have experience with this family of mc?
