Cable-Driven Camera Slider

Tensioned linear camera carriage with controlled acceleration and braking. Tensioned linear camera carriage with controlled acceleration and braking.

Components

• MCU
• stepper/BLDC drive
• encoder or end stops

Build steps

1. Inventory the board, actuators, sensors, and power rails listed for R08.
2. Build and inspect the low-voltage wiring against the supplied connection diagram before connecting actuators.
3. Flash the firmware, run the startup self-check, and record the printed board and firmware version.
4. Calibrate the sensors and limits, then run the acceptance tests at the lowest safe energy level.

Test and expected result

Measure position repeatability, belt/cable tension, and emergency stop distance.

Safety and limits

Use a guarded rail and current-limited motor supply.
