      @@StudioBonn Ok so you said that because you are old the chances of you not getting in a financial struggle are 0, and thus you will never be in need of a new job? And knowledge is fine and good but someone along the line had to learn whatever he showed from an expert or a teacher and that was probably in college. It is odd considering that you seem to value knowledge but not education.

    I've got the components made except I created 3D files with some adjustments for 3D printing. I also am almost complete with the controller. My only question really is I can't tell which resistors you're using. Looks like 3 different ones but from what I see on your diagram against what I see in the video the resistors don't seem to match up. Care to share which ones you're using?

      Carl Richards 🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    Congratulations on this very accurate tuto. Sure, I am going to built my slider based upon these instructions.
    I have two questions :
    Values of resistors :
    it seems you used 10K for R1 + R2 + R3 + R5 - Is it correct ?
    What is the R4 value ?
    What don’t you have two limit switches (one on each side). Is only one sufficient ?

      The resistors for the LEDs, are 220 or 330 ohms, that R3 and R5 on the PCB, other can be 10k.
      Sure you can use two limit switches but one is enough because if you know the length of your slider, you can tell the motor the exact travel distance from the start to the end.

    You could also use a ramps board with an arduino mega or a grbl-cnc shield with a arduino Uno.. though it wouldn't look as cool.. let alone the fun of making your own custom PCB ! brilliant job. Also you could make an adjustable camera platform to allow you to move the camera back and forth to make the rotation pivot align with the entrance pupil of different lenses... Awesome project.. would try to make a version using black anodized aluminium instead of mdf, it would look awesome on such a brilliant project ! keep up the great job!
