Build a Professional Panoramic Sky Time-Lapse Controller with Arduino & Stepper Motor

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, including soldering iron and solder wire, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Capture stunning 360-degree sky time-lapses that evolve with changing light. This kit builds a controller that rotates a camera mount using a stepper motor, triggered by a BH1750 ambient light sensor, recording to SD card with RTC timestamps. Achieve full control over panoramic motion and exposure.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a panoramic time-lapse controller mountable on any tripod. The Arduino orchestrates NEMA 17 rotation via A4988 driver and GT2 belt, moving a camera in small increments. The BH1750 light sensor triggers captures as daylight changes, while the DS3231 RTC timestamps each image. You

Choose your assembly option:

• Soldering Kit — 25W soldering iron, 60/40 solder wire, flux, and small perfboard for permanent assembly.
• Breadboard Combo — 800-point full-size breadboard with 65-piece jumper wire pack for solderless prototyping.
