HI, I am a photographer/ filmmaker who has very little electronics and no coding experience (besides making a LED blink with an Arduino!) . A am wanting to setup a system where I can electronically move the slide, maybe with something like a joystick for x and y axis- without needing to access a computer to shoot good quality video only. I would like to just have the sensor feeding out to HDMI for recording. Has anyone done this? Because I dont know very much about stepper motors, I thought I could use geared DC motors (I found some the same size as the existing steppers the project has) and use a simpler controller to connect a potentiometer based joystick like this- How to Control Two Motors with a Joystick - Soldering Mind. Or am I going down the wrong road? Will using steppers suit better and I should force myself to learn a bit more? or should also buy a plug and play unit like this- Instrument In A Box - Precision Joystick Stepper Controller+Driver - 2 Channel XY/Pan-tilt. , although I would need to find a different stepper motor that the project tends to use- but modify the mounts. Any help would be really appreciated , cheer Paul
