Rig 5
Rig5 will be my most sophisticated rig yet 
. I'll keep notes here. The parts are coming in, the design is crystallizing…
- Camera Frame
NEW: the software I'm developing for this rig and controller is now browsable online

I am in the process of ordering and testing components for my 'next generation' camera rig. I'll updat this section as I go…
- The rig and the controller will be based on Arduino's
- 4 x LM2596 DC-DC Step Down Adjustable Power Supply Module's (11 gr, $5.24 on ebay)
- A 4-line LCD display for the ground controller (update: tested)
5.8Ghz video tx (3.3V, 3gr, 200mW, $20)and rx (12V, $35). UPDATE: it is difficult to solder wires to the small pads on the TX. I broke it
- 5.8Ghz video tx, 8 channels, 100 mW, (FatShark, $40, FS5.8-100MW). It has a small voltage regulator for the video cam. Tested: okay with RX mentioned above.
- Small relays to disconnect the power of the video TX and RX when not in use (ordered)
- A 3 turn sail servo(GWS S125-3T, 720 degrees) for proportional pan control without external gears (my current rig uses the GWS S125-1T, no problemo)
- Switches, connectors, resistors, LEDs
- A great 3.5“ Inch Digital TFT LCD VERY clear display in bright light!)
