Introduction: DIY Arduino Time Lapse Panner for GoPro
I needed to create a panner that would make 1 rotation over 5 minutes.
I discovered two other projects to base mine on. Construction is pretty much the same as the source projects below.
I rewrote some of the code. My TimeLapse Panner prompts for # of Rotations and Duration in minutes

Step 1: Demo Video
Step 2: Parts and Pieces
Here are a list of Parts from V2.
1 (SG804A - 4 inch Gearbox Arm
3 (535044 - .250 inch ID x .500 inch OD Flanged Ball Bearing
* I found this at SparkFun
1 (634074) 1/4 inch x 2.500 inch D-Shaft
1 (545588) (06.11.03) 1/4 inch Bore Clamping Hub
1 (RHA32-36-84) 84 Tooth, 32 Pitch Hub Gear (3/16 inch Face)
1 (585484) (03.11.03) 90 Degree Channel Bracket A

1 ULN2003 5v stepper motor
1 Axial Pinion Gear 32P 12T Steel 5mm Motor Shaft AX30838 NIB
HomeDepot
Misc 6-32 flat head screws and bolts (I used 1/2 lengths)
Amazon
1 SainSmart LCD 1602 Keypad Shield with Mega 2560 Arduino board
* The Mega board is probably overkill for this project.

Step 4: Build It!
I would refer to https://www.instructables.com/id/Timelapse-Panning-...
and http://www.bethnchris.com/2014/01/01/diy-gopro-ard...
for build hints. It wasn't too difficult to create, wire the boards and motor, and piece together the enclosure.
You may have a different idea for the enclosure.
