Building a DIY Motorized Skater Dolly for Shots With Controlled Motion Ep 16

- Needing a way to get some slow slider type shots, I took a $20 skater dolly and strapped a motor on. I built a pwm speed control for the motor to allow for more precise control.
This is just the first stage of a more complicated system I'm working on. If you are looking for parts, I'd do something a bit different than this. I don't want to say here's a prototype that kinda works and tell you or anyone to go build the same prototype with the same problems. If you need speed control for a motor, I can always point you in the right direction.
The real goal here, is to build a system that can be cavemanned together. If you need welding or cnc to build it, it's not going in the system.
PWM Speed Controller:
amzn.to/2qcDdn8
The switches I used:
amzn.to/2prM1aF

Great little DIY project!
Thanks. Can't wait to have some time to get the next version done.
This was entertaining. I am looking forward to the indepth electronic videos.
I will be doing some motion control with Arduino to control this thing as a slider. I'll probably post some videos of it, since that's what I'll be working on anyway (I have parts on the way). I would really like to find a solid method for building some advanced projects without advanced tools.
I'll probably be posting videos on other topics to help do DIY projects, like brazing aluminium since it's so easy and not everyone has access to a welder.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
Update!?
It works good on flat surfaces. Anything I've done after is using rails. I'll be getting back to it when work slows down.
most of the ideo is about building the wood box right?
i wonder what the rpm of the motor you used?10?5?
Can you please send me the motor parts please, I'd like to build one too

I have the speed controller in the description. Just need a gear motor and a flange on the shaft to jamb against the wheel.
You mounted your T-nut backward. The whole idea is to compress the nut between the inside and outside... with wood the trick is to epoxy and bigger washer on the outside...
The reason I did it that way was to keep the metal away from the circuit board and still have a hard, not wooden surface on the underside. Since I did it the way I did, I used epoxy to keep it in place. In the past, I've used thicker wood for a few projects and used an insert.
Good job to notice. You're right, and I should have mentioned why I did it that way in the video.
