  • If you want to bring motion control in your production but you have no idea what the necessary components look like and you need to get a general idea about the parts specifications and technical information, this video is for you! In this 20 minutes I'm explaining the basic terms and specs of stepper motors, stepper motor drivers, controllers, Arduino and Dragonframe and showcasing a few of my rigs to get an idea of how to jump into the DIY motion control world for making stop motion or live action videos.

    So informative! As someone who has always wanted to get into the world of motion controls and use it in stop motion, I learned so much from this video. Thank you!

      Thank you, Mina!I'm glad you found it useful. I really like to hear what you'd like to learn more about so hopefully I can make videos around those subjects.

    Wow! I'm so jealous of that rig in the opening :P. Lots of great info in this video, thank you!

    Awesome! Great video thank you. Planning on upgrading to dragon frame and working out if I can make use of motion control for my stop motions.

    What size/kind of Rails do you use for your big rig (opening)? With all of your experience with these rigs, I would love to see a video on your use of methods to drive things on rails and it's affects on Stop-motion. Belts vs threaded rod.

    I had left a fairly detailed comment and messed up had to edit it and then CZcams messed up I'm not typing all that again. I've got pages worth to type but uh...
    I've got a design for a 3D printer where the motors are stacked vertically over top of each other in the same verticle space. I'm building my own motors and the printing is done on the inside of the motors. There are no rails, rods, screw rods, belts, gears of any kind except for the gears that push the filament.
    It has high torque and zero backlash and submicron precision accuracy because I do not have physical steps. My step count isn't even a count, it's literally infinite.
    The software and hardware part of it I'm going to have to do from the ground up and here's where I'm gonna need help.
    I essentially am going to have an AI but really a set of complex algorithms that are interacting with themselves that have a microscope camera faced on the rotors.
    It will know all the physical dimensions of everything about my machine.
    All of the properties of my water cooled electromagnets that are constant DC.
    and all of the electrical and mathematical magnetic formulas.
    And it will have to train itself.
    My rotors are oriented at a particular angle down to the micron. It will be looking at the camera and have a target rotation and just try combinations until it gets flawless to where it uses the least amount of electricity and the fastest speed without overshooting.
    So what kind of board could analyze every frame of a high frame rate microscope camera?
    To see down to the micron that the degree of the disc is oriented, there will be a specialized encoder pattern around the perimeter of the discs, the rotors.
    So in one instance it knows the physical orientation of everything looks at the G code to see the next destination for the physical orientation and based off of its training model knows exactly how to apply the electricity to achieve getting there.
    So what kind of boards, computers, pies, whatever, etc. Will I need for this task?

    this is a very comprehensively detailed video - have you used feedback sensors with steppers and any experience with those ? having a controller with closed loop feeedback ?

    • @mocotoolbox
      @mocotoolbox  Před 6 měsíci

      Thanks! I don't have experience with closed loop feedback controllers.

    hay, why did'nt you use a linear drawer mech. for up and down linear motion

    • @mocotoolbox
      @mocotoolbox  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Hey! Sounds interesting! Could you explain more on what mechanism you're suggesting? You know, the up and down motion is always the most challenging and I'd like to explore different solutions.

    Sir,
    I am preparing for exams to take admission in college .I want to become an engineer. Which bachelor should I pursue to become an engineer like you .(mechatronics or electronic).I am also sending application to foreign universities. How I can take admission in
    Your country for quality of education. How you can help me in choosing universities and help in scholarship. Your one step help me so much sir.

    • @mocotoolbox
      @mocotoolbox  Před 7 měsíci

      Hi, there isn't any specific major to study visual engineering, but electronic or mechatronics would definitely be a good start. I myself studied electronics for bachelor and graphic design for the masters and then combined both.
      I don't have updated info on choosing universities or finding scholarships so I can't give you any advice on that. I wish you luck!
