CAUTION : Use this at your own risk. As the plugin allows to run shell command on the server you may expose your printer to security issues. Be sure to understand your shell script behavior.
I recently build a VORON 2.4 and switch my main printer from Marlin/Octoprint to klipper/mainsail. Octoprint offers many plugins, huge community, ... whatever. I used to make timelapses with a SONY FDR-AX700 camera with Octolapse, to get stabilization, and easy support for DSLR cameras.
SONY FDR-AX700 is not a DSLR and is controlled via WIFI AP of the camera
As Octolapse do, this component use shell script to control DSLR and other cameras. More information here
First you should connect your camera :
- For DSLR you should follow the first part of Octolapse guide
- For SONY Camera follow my quick guide Configure_sony_camera.
As I did not want to fork Mainsail too, the camera could not be set in UI settings, you should integrate those lines in moonraker.conf
## moonraker.conf
[timelapse]
camera_type: script #allow value webcam, script
camera: Your_Camera #whatever you want it is not used
snapshoturl: /home/pi/moonraker-timelapse/scripts/YOUR_SCRIPT.sh #Path should be absolute
then restart moonraker.
You should be able to take a snapshot with TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME from Mainsail console.
macro TIMELAPSE_MOTION_SETTINGS allows to give 'motion' to the toolhead.
To allow motion, the following paramters must be set:
MOTION_MODE = none(default), linear (go and back between 2 points), ellipse (draw an ellipse in 2 points area), star (draw a star), orbital, flower
MOTION_SPEED = number of frames for full motion
X1, Y1 and X2, Y2 = coords of the motion area
MOTION_MODE is enable only if PARK_POS is set to custom
| linear | star | ellipse |
|---|---|---|
