Q: Can I use the DMC-16 with Ditogear hardware? Do I need the Ditogear Dragonbridge?Ī: The DMC-16 provides real-time capabilities when using Ditogear hardware with Dragonframe. The DMC-16 also provides full DMX lighting capabilities and triggers. The Arduino provides basic shoot-move-shoot capabilities, whereas the DMC-16 can run moves at full speed. The DMC-16 is ten times as fast, which smoother acceleration and deceleration. It has a maximum motor speed of 20,000 steps/second, with fairly coarse acceleration/deceleration. Q: What’s the difference between the DMC-16 and using an Arduino for motion control? Why would I pay so much more for the DMC-16?Ī: The Arduino (with Dragonframe and our DFMoco sketch) is a great tool for motion control in stop motion and time-lapse, but it is very basic. Rack mount ears for mounting in a rack.Power cord of your choice : US/UK/EU/None.Dimensions: 17″ wide x 1.719″ tall x 8″ deep.Includes a relay, logic level out, a switch input, and an emergency stop input.I/O Triggers for interfacing DMC-16/Dragonframe with another external device.One DMX512 output to control up to 512 lights.One camera trigger with separate metering and shutter outputs.(8 sets of low and high limits for motors 1-8). One Kuper/Flair compatible DB37 step/direction output (non-differential).16 RJ45 jacks with differential and non-differential outputs for step and direction.Maximum stepping pulse rate of 200,000 steps/second (200 kHz).16 channels of step/direction signals for use with stepper motor drivers.
