Máquina do tempo - Sofia Erzini

A programme that can control a machine meant for stop motion animation.

The programme is responding to camera capture, therefor each time a picture is taken motors are activated and take a step or more according to the preferences made by the programmer.

These motors are integrated in the mechanical structure that will make all the elements of light and weather change frame-by-frame.

Leaving the animator free to introduce any element according to this theme of cycle and repetition.

Scheme:

1st step, controle the stepmotor, back/ forward/ pause

//The circuit diagrame of an Arduino Uno, 28-BYJ48 steper motor and a ULN2003 stepper module (driver):

// Using Serial Print:

The serial monitor is a practical fiture of the arduino that alows a live view and possible interaction of the arduino board via USB cable.

With serial print you can send information Live to the arduino Board, wich is related to the project because it is an external live element that will comand the motor to step in a sertain manner.

//The code used (https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/arduino-stepper-motor-control-tutorial)

With the code bellow we can controle the motor by introducind in the serial motor the amount
