y=… and let the controller pan and tilt for an hour or so with repeatable results. What a great addition that would be…dial in settings X=. My ears perked up when you mentioned a timelapse option. Your ‘virtual’ joystick is intriguing (as was your other explorations with the hardwired joystick). The joystick that they use is a fairly rudimentary CTS Series 252 switch…a ‘mini’ joystick…that does not come close to the smooth control offered by the joystick on a Nintendo Nunchuk…but it does work as designed and gives good measure of control. but at 85 british pounds it is not cheap.

Smooth control of the Bescor pan/tilt head, from a standstill to full speed. They appear to have designed a fairly simple circuit that does a decent job of extending the control of the bescor beyond the standard remote. I purchased a joystick from Hague camera, in the UK, and it overcomes all the limitations of the standard remote. Hope this is useful! Sorry for the double post, I pasted in HTML before, hopefully this is more clear. I’ve found this speed control improves performance by allowing smoother track.
Anything greater than 1.7x speed freezes the MP-101, and I saw no discernable difference between 1.5x and 1.7x. Through a lot of trial and error testing, I found these to be acceptable values. I tried to comment the code as best as I could. I use the C button to achieve 0.5x speed, the Z button gives me 1.5x speed and pushing both together resets the speed back to 1x.

I made some mods to the code to incorporate a dynamic speed control using the C and Z buttons. Tilt based on the input from the joystick Map the x/y value to get the full range Vary = chuck.readJoyY() // nunchuk.analogY is the value of the y-axisĪbsx = abs(varx) // Convert the x-axis value to an absolute value Varx = chuck.readJoyX() // nunchuk.analogX is the value of the x-axis 130 is the distance from 0 on the joystick
