Windows GUI for OpenMoco

A while ago I came across the OpenMoco Project, while looking for a possibility to create timelapse video with my Nano dolly.

Over Christmas, I programmed a very simple and down to earth GUI using Delphi.

Features:

Program Control:
Start, Pause und Stop/Clear program

Motor Control
:
With the buttons you can position the motors. You can change the number of steps per move (electronic gearing, sort of)

Set Program Data:

Camera:
Here, you can set different parameters of the camera, like interval and max shot count.

Motors:
You can program each of the three axis (eventually even four) here. You can set steps per move, max steps, directon and ramping.

There will be a lot more features in the next couple of days. I plan on integrating the complete Open moco functionality, quick programming, maybe joystick support (if I am really bored). Also, it will be possible to save the user and programm settings to disk.

I just haven’t had enough time to get everthing going yet. As soon as I get it done, I will post the software for everyone to download. If anyone cares to try it before that, please contact me.
