photogrammetry table (3d scanning)
i learned to photograph about 4 years ago and sice then i was thinking of how to control my camera movement's with a mobile phone for videos
then i found a blog about a diy camera slider so i started making it last summer in quarantine i made some progress but got stuck because power source was big and the wiring was a mess, and couldn't make other axis ,3d bearing for tilt and pan movement ,and adding mobile interface and to make it battery power operated with a big power bank i have
so i choosed a new project with close similarly to the slider
a 360 Turntable for product photography that can do some photogrammetry since i also love 3d modeling and sculpting (lazy suzan )
similar project i found online
i like the detaching magnetic part
cool links i found while searching

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
the project is a turntable station consists of a rotary (lazy suzan) table that is controlled with arduino you can input how many photos needed in the 360 and it calculate the angel and move a motor accordingly and trigger the camera to take shot so on on the rest of the photos all automated .
it will have an extra feature to photograph a product static precalulated angels for standard marketing photos for websites like jumia or souq or even a small websites for hand made jewelry
the station also will have a controlled light setup (softbox)
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of
Construction Parts
laser cut plywood 6mm and (3d printed gearbox and mounts for the motor) 3d printed enclosure for the screen and buttons
Input (Sensing and/or User)
input from 1- screen and rotary buton, 2-android mobile device (ui buttons interface) Bluetooth
Action
stepper motor - choosed to calculated steps for full 360 movement and how many steps needed
Brain
arduino
Power Management
power supply probably 9v (if i could make it with powerbank for mobility )
5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

box with support bearing and motor with shaft-rotating disc - control unit
control unit - screen and input button
Metal Caster Wheel for Robot i will use for supporting bearing for heavy objects and adding wider table

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
