Timelapse Camera Project

This project uses LEGO ® MINDSTORMS ® NXT to build a timelapse apparatus for a small Canon camera. The pictures were taken over a few hours and the video was put together to show some interesting effects.

[box]SOFTWARE AND TOOLS: The project uses a very simple program that constantly rotates the gear set, lowering a “finger” on the shutter button.  The NXT program is here.

We use a simple spreadsheet found here to calculate how many pictures will fit on the memory card.

[/box] [box]PICS AND VIDEO: Some photographs are included to give a better perspective of the design.  We made two videos with the timelapse equipment in Puebla, Mexico to test it out.  The videos are awesome!
