AtlasMeter Testing

After running the timelapse dolly several times, I've uncovered several bugs in the code and hardware (and fixed them). I added a screw to mount the camera (without the mount the camera slowly shifted around) and fixed some time display bugs. For some reason, the dolly consistently misses steps, and the more frames there are the more steps are dropped. At the end of a 240 frame run that was supposed to travel over the entire length of the dolly the camera was nearly a foot short of the set end position. I'll have to fiddle around and add some constant to the steps per frame to get the right distance.

I noticed that the camera moved slightly faster in the beginning than at the end and didn't have a very consistent speed  in the middle. There must be more steps dropping or some play in the belt. Also, I need to remember to not move the camera too much per frame or the video is choppy.
