If you already have stepper motor drivers, you can take these signals and wire them into a connector for those drivers.

If you do not have stepper motor drivers, and need to move relatively small stepper motors, you can wire the Arduino signals to a Big Easy Driver or comparable board. You will use one Big Easy Driver for each stepper motor. The pin-out for each step and direction signal is described in the DFMoco sketch.If you’re into animation and Dragonframe is the software used, edelkrone has a new accessory to make stop motion animation easier: the Stop Motion Module for the company’s HeadPLUS or HeadPLUS PRO. The new accessory announced by edelkrone takes animation to a whole new level. In fact, as the company says, “even without Stop Motion Module and Dragonframe software, you can still create amazing animations just by using the edelkrone App. However, if you want to step up your game, we recommend using Dragonframe.”ĭragonframe is the animation software trusted by major motion picture studios and independent filmmakers alike. With its highly acclaimed features and intuitive graphical interface, you can easily program advanced camera moves, animate lighting, and even import and edit multiple audio tracks. The software’s website invites people to begin their stop motion filmmaking journey by trying Dragonframe, which is presented as an animator’s dream come true. The 30 day trial will give you an idea of the potential of the tool, which now works with the new accessory from edelkrone. The Stop Motion Module, which costs $89, enables you to control your HeadPLUS or HeadPLUS PRO through any PC (Windows/Linux) or Mac. Just connect HeadPLUS to your computer with the new edelkrone Stop Motion Module and you are all set! The HeadPLUS and Dragonframe software integration – for stop motion only – will bring your stop motion animation to life.
