After several months of experimentation and hard work, we are proud to announce the release of version 0.82 of the OpenMoco TimeLapse Engine. Of course, the engine still runs on the inexpensive and easy-to-buy Arduino platform, but we've expanded all of the existing capabilities and added new features to the engine that set it apart from any other open-source moco sketch you'll find, while making it more stable and useful for the timelapse experimenter.

The first publicly available release of the OpenMoco time-lapse engine is now available.  Download it at the Software Download Page.

Documentation is incomplete, and there may be bugs, but stop on in, sign up for an account, and let us know what you think!

What's not done?

  • Further code optimization - several flags need to be rolled into single bytes
  • Complete documentation
  • ... and probably another hundred things I can't remember!
