Inspired by this I decided to build my own version of a panorama system.

The system, called CamControl for now (fancy name eh?), will have the following features:

• Automatically capture full and partial panoramic pictures
• Capture timelapse pictures
• Capture HDR picture series
• Capture long shutter pictures

After some research, I have decided to buy the following components to build my camera control system:

• 2x SPG785 Pan from ServoCity, one with 3:1 and one with 5:1 ratio gears (213 $)
• Olimex AVR-MT-128 board (45 Euro)
• Olimex AVR-ISB500 programmer (30 Euro)

This are the most important components which will let me develop the software. For the mechanical construction I will have to buy some more stuff, but this can wait until my servos arrive (they are backordered). The Olimex stuff already arrived and I have already started development of the software. More on this later.
