Parameter value

FRAME

The total number of frames per revolution in automatic shooting mode.

DELAY

Set the exposure time to the same as in the camera. This is the waiting time before the start of the next turn of the platform.
The value is set in milliseconds.
For example, if the exposure in the camera is 1/100 in the control unit, you need to set it. DELAY = 10.

PAUSE

Pause before shooting.
The value is set in milliseconds.

SPEED

Platform rotation speed. Affects the speed of calibration, infinite rotation.

degX

Rotate to a given angle.
The parameter is specified in degrees.

STEPS

Affects the calibration of the turntable. Specifies the total length of the rotation.
This parameter is used to fine-tune the calibration. For the turntable to rotate exactly 360 degrees in auto shooting mode.

DIREC

Direction of rotation in auto shooting mode.
The value is changed with the buttons on the IR remote control: 1, 2.

TimeS

Shutter hold time. Some cameras require a longer hold time to avoid dropping frames.
Also, this time should be increased when using a wireless IR imaging module. It can be external or built into the control unit.

MODE

shooting mode. While working in test mode. We are waiting for the next firmware version.

  • for Stop Motion shooting. Animation of the moving parts of an item to demonstrate its functionality.

Calibration

1.

Enter parameter editing mode by pressing the red button SETUP.

  • to set the circumference of the rotating disc. The accuracy of its rotation in automatic shooting mode depends on this parameter.

2.

Click on the button to start the calibration process. Before that, for visual control of the angle of rotation, put some object on the edge of the disk.

3.

Wait until the disk makes a turn exactly 360 degrees, then press the same button again.

After that, a number will be written to the STEPS parameter, which means the circumference of the rotating disk.

If, after calibration, the rotating dial rotates more or less than 360 degrees at the end of automatic shooting, edit the STEPS parameter manually. If the platform rotates less than 360 degrees, the STEPS parameter must be increased. If the platform rotates more than 360 degrees, the STEPS parameter must be reduced.

To shoot a heavy subject, perform calibration with the subject mounted on the rotating dial.
