  6. I'll HiJack This by MacFury · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'll attempt to HiJack this thread with my own question. I'm looking to build a PC controlled camera mount. Basically it would be able to rotate a camera mount a certain number of degrees over a certain time frame. Then, this motion could be played back over and over again, for compositing effects. I haven't found any decent and cheap ways to finely control servos with a PC...preferably a mac. Anybody got any suggestions?
