Incredibly high quality tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to make this and share it with us. I've watched several videos to get ideas for building a slider. This is the one that I'll be building. It far surpasses the rest! Thanks!
Great work! This is a real masterpiece! I think the next level is an easy and foldable design using a 3D printer or casting a light alloy! And wireless control via smartphone!
Thank you! I thought of adding a Bluetooth control with a smartphone but it would have overloaded the already long video. And yeah, using the 3D model, people can instead of using wood, 3D print the parts and of course, the design can always be improved!
clean copper with vinigar and baking soada... be sure to rinse after .... ... id like to operate a large camera via wifi remote, through the view of the cam. up, down, side/side and click need to be performed. ill be using a windows computer. id be nice if it could be smooth moments with something like a game controller. ... sugestions ?
Hi, That was so IMPRESSIVE i had to build one. I completed the prototype version using different mechanical hardware based on what I had. And it works great. Your how-to video is Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
The copper pipes will turn green in no time. You should lacquer them. And anyone trying this build should use heavy PVC, or thin-walled galvanized pipes. Even brass tube would be much better here. Nice DIY video though!
Amazing dedication to a brilliant concept and design, functionality looks amazing! Total construction time and cost would be interesting to have in your description.
Thanks! Well there is a parts list on the website article, with links to each of them. You can see the prices there and estimate the total cost. As for the construction time, it took me several days just for assembling it.
Congratulations on this very accurate tuto. Sure, I am going to built my slider based upon these instructions. I have two questions : Values of resistors : it seems you used 10K for R1 + R2 + R3 + R5 - Is it correct ? What is the R4 value ? What don’t you have two limit switches (one on each side). Is only one sufficient ? Many thanks for your help Jean-claude in France
Thanks! The resistors for the LEDs, are 220 or 330 ohms, that R3 and R5 on the PCB, other can be 10k. Sure you can use two limit switches but one is enough because if you know the length of your slider, you can tell the motor the exact travel distance from the start to the end.
Holy Awesome Sauce! THIS IS THE BEST ONE! Watched a few similar DIY projects, and this is the one I will bend a knee for. Or take my hat off. Whichever. *Takes a bow.
Also, borrow or buy a cheap caliper. A very versatile, useful tool for a lot of applications, really worth every penny. I'd sand a shallow groove on that wood clamp on the tripod leg (4:52), or glue a small non-slip rubber mat like the one you use in the kitchen, for better traction. Better safe than sorry :)
Could you make a diagramm where is standing which smaller components you jused? I mean Resistors and Capacitor and co. Because I can't find it anywhere!
Great idea. Have been looking for something like this for too long . Exactly it would be an arduino that tracks the sun and by motors move the solar panels . I think it would be something not hard to do since we already know the position of the sun during X day for years . Still im not too good with trigonometry
Very nice done! Will also nice with touchscreen or phone WiFi! And with tracking system all will be completed You are good teacher, thank you very much to share this!
Hello! Congratulations for this tutorial! One question! When I start the order of PCB he ask me 2 parts missing, one Designator "R1..R5" and other it's in designator "Pan,SLIDER,TILT,U6,U14,U16". I think he ask the capacitors. what do i choose? Thank you.
I've got the components made except I created 3D files with some adjustments for 3D printing. I also am almost complete with the controller. My only question really is I can't tell which resistors you're using. Looks like 3 different ones but from what I see on your diagram against what I see in the video the resistors don't seem to match up. Care to share which ones you're using?

I just ordered the pcb for this great project....I can't believe what an awesome company JLCPCB is. They give updates in my account on every process during the manufacture so you can see where it's up to. Have a look for youtube videos about them.
Great video :) a lot of work. Really great. To make it better, just add screen to it so one know what are settings. To make it pro, control it with ESP 32 via BT or web server, that would be great for making sunrise videos or whatever, without you being there.
Hi, I love your project. Can you please supply a full list of components for the smaller items in the design i.e. LEDs, microswitches, potentiometers, switches, buttons, etc. Many Thanks
The characteristics of the potentiometers are not indicated! Complete electronics assembly not shown. Why is driver A4988 and not DRV8825 used? And can the L298N driver be used? The video shows the programming of the start and end position of the camera carriage. If you connect the drive of the slider itself to another controller, and leave only the carriage with two motors on it from your video, will this positioning work correctly?
parabens a equipe de edição deste tutorial, uma pergunta este slidar pode ser gravado em todos os movimentos e depois permanecer lendo em todos os angulos? ate que seja desligado? obrigado
This is a great but sophisticated project. Anyway, didn't you think of controlling it wirelessly especially you have the needed experience in making RC transmitters?
Agree - the best build I found even in 2021. Just use one axis))) But in such case would go with another design where acceleration, screen and 2208 included to work smoothly.
Fantastic work :) it takes a lot of craft in several areas to get this done. I need to get some tools to get into a project like this, I've built several things with arduino before, and like any arduino guy, I save all the electronic junk to later do something with it, maybe this will be my next thing :) thanks for the video! Are you sharing your pcb design?
I want to make this with same functionality but control over a network with ethernet. i understand ill need to learn a broader form of this but its a hard thing much experience in the field. Where do i begin?
ok 10 days later I am controlling stepper motors over a network with arduino and an ethernet shield. This is the best build. Im gonna try to base my mechanical hardware on this design.
Very interesting! I never really did any home-made constructions after mid-school, but want to make/buy that kind of slider or similar for my image/video related experiments. But you are using wood, and I was wondering, would it be possible to replace all wooden parts with 3D printed plastic ones?
Impressive! What payload can the motors handle? I would need the setup to handle 2 kg camera (possibly a bit more). Would I then need other motors? Especially if the rails are inclined? Best wishes
You could also use a ramps board with an arduino mega or a grbl-cnc shield with a arduino Uno.. though it wouldn't look as cool.. let alone the fun of making your own custom PCB ! brilliant job. Also you could make an adjustable camera platform to allow you to move the camera back and forth to make the rotation pivot align with the entrance pupil of different lenses... Awesome project.. would try to make a version using black anodized aluminium instead of mdf, it would look awesome on such a brilliant project ! keep up the great job!
I love this video.Can you explain how to add a loop at the end of the code so the slider will move back and forth between the in and out points you set indefinitely?
Thanks! Well sure you can do that, you could make a separate custom function for that, once the slider reaches the limit what you need to set is a new limit on the other side and also set the speed or the setSpeed() function with opposite sign, + or -.
It would be nice to have a "Loop" function or "Repeat last move" function. I'm not really good at Arduino coding, can someone plz help to improve this code?
list of parts bit not the electronics. like for example what set of bearings did you use, bolt and screw size. I can't find these informations in the article
Hi there, great project and tutorial. 2 questions. How much does it weight? The movement is just position a to position b? Can it loop once it reach either end? Thanks in advance! 🧐🙂👋🏻🙏🏻
Thanks! I'm not sure how much it weights, but it does. :) The current program only goes from at A to B position, but of course it can be programmed to do anything, like loop between these points and even include more points.
I loved this project! Why not assemble a components kit with your custom PCB included and sell it to receive some money from those who wants support you?
Can you make an orbiting camera rig, not just a lazy susan..but one where the motor spins two opposing arms where you mount the camera and a light/background. I think th youtube channel vox has a video on how food commercials are made. But they had in the video was built for big cameras. Was hoping you can try to make one for mirrorless or dslr cameras that can spin slowly.
Hey! Awesome video! I've been thinking of upgrading my current diy slider with the motorized portions of this build. Im pretty new to arduino projects, when I was looking over your wiring and pcb designs I couldn't see where you had grounded all your parts? Was it just into the pcb itself or was there a grounding layer where you ran it all together?
hello! I really like the project and I would like to try it. I would like to ask how many resistors and when did you use a capacitor and potentiometer?
Great video with great description.. one question please .. can I ask you to made me one and delivered to me and how much will cost me with delivery to UK London. Appreciate your videos and thank you in advance.
Congratulations for the project. I would also like to insert the zoom and focus control. it's possible? maybe using a one or mega arduino? Thanks a lot.
Thanks! Well sure it's possible, everything is possible with Arduino. :) Not sure whether there some ready to use modules for such a purpose which can be directly controlled using the Arduino, or you should come up with your own design/ module for it. The current circuit uses almost all digital pins of the Nano, but there are methods like multiplexers to to increase the digital inputs. Or of course, you can use a Mega board if you need more pins. However, it all depends on the way that these features will be executed but at this moment, I couldn't propose anything specific.

I am afraid that copper pipes are too soft for that. After some time there maybe be some grooves in pipes made by bearings. But still great project :)
Electrical conduit is much stronger, much cheaper and will not tarnish / corrode due to being galvanized.
