Hey Guys,
This is my first personal project, I have no background in electronics whatsoever. I really appreciate every feedback and help I get from here. Thankyou for taking the time and effort to reply to this post.
So on to my project, I want to motorize my slider (please see the attached picture of the slider). I want to motorize this in two ways, One for a timelapse photography and the other is for a smooth slide motion.
I have decided to use the a 12V DC stepper motor (please see the picture for the motor and the pin type) and a 12V DC RPM Geared motor (See pictures). My questions is how do i control the stepper motor using a potentiometer or any other way..so that it moves a certain distance and stops and moves again to a certain distance.
And for the video, I am planning to buy **broken link removed**. pretty sure this will do the job.
Please do ask if you want more information about this project.
Thankyou All
-Jay
