hi All
i’m new here ...
I use motion controlled cameras
basically a cnc machine with a camera instead of a cutting tool
normally we program a camera move in and then leave it filming whilst we do something else
a new project requires live filming but very accurately hence the machine
the job involves a camera move that ends up in a specific place focused on an animal
but the animal is never in the same exact place so what i would like to do is take manual control of a few axis as we near the end of
the move and bring them in manually
to do this i propose switching the controll source from the computer to a manual handle
i could literally do this with some switches to swap step and direction but feel there maybe s more refined solution
the program we use for camera movement locks all axis before beginning the move and has no function to switch of an axis without halting
the program which will not work as other axis still need to continue
the stepper drivers do not talk back to the program so the computer would not know or care
what do you think
best
