Stop Motion BS2 Rig
[video=youtube_share;SsMHk6-nueU]
I used the same setup as here - http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?140793-Turn-one-time-lapse-camera-into-many-at-low-cost
This time, instead of the sensor detecting the GoPro's on board LED, I mounted the sensor to the desk. Each time I moved something in the frame when I moved my hand out of view it would trigger the camera. So basically, I didn't need to hit the shutter once during the shoot

Well done!
And... oops I meant photo diode not IR sensor in my first post. The BASIC Stamp is my Swiss Army knife for fun in my office.
This was my first stop motion video. It was so much fun with the Stamp controlling the shutter. I'm itching to make a better video now. I think around 2 minutes with more of a story and higher frame rate. I will submit version 2 to Parallax and see if they could use it.
I followed the BOE Bot manual step by step for the video just in case. One thing I seem to have a problem with is the barrel connector on the 4 AA power pack won't fit through the rubber grommet after it is installed, especially after the servo wires. Need to figure out if that is just my 4 AA packs or the rubber grommets I have or something else.
