| I wanted to automate the creation of 360° animated GIF photos. This sort of thing has been done many times in various ways by many people, so I am re-inventing the wheel here, but I don't have their solution to hand. The obvious way to do it appeared to be to use an Arduino board to control a stepper motor and synchronize the camera. I had previously created such animations by manually moving the camera and taking many photos, then manually aligning the images and stitching them together to get a more or less smooth animation. But this requires a subject that stays still as it takes a lot of time, and the images inevitably are slightly out of alignment.\\ | I wanted to automate the creation of 360° animated GIF photos.

| Doing it the hard way, the first animation shows the raw frames jerking about, and the second shows the manually aligned frames giving a smoother animation: | Doing it the hard way, the first animation shows the raw frames jerking about, and the second shows the manually aligned frames giving a smoother animation: |
