Hello Workshop team,
I am fairly new to Arduino so I am hoping to get some wisdom from this community in getting this project off the ground. I will try to be as specific about my project as possible to narrow in on where I will need to focus my efforts and revise my hardware selection. I will share the links to my specific hardware I have below.
Ultimately, I would like to build a digitized version of the 'hand crank' style film camera that operates by rotating the crank attached to a rotary encoder. I want to build based on these specs so that the frames per second (FPS) is based on the angle of rotations.
For example: If while rotating the crank lefthanded (clockwise), the rotary encoder will rotate counter-clockwise. And if each full 360° rotation takes 20 pictures, for each 18° counter-clockwise rotation of the rotary encoder the camera would need to record 1 picture. Each picture taken would then be saved to the external SD card module.
I would like to keep this project as cheap as possible and so the hardware I have chosen so far is:
1. ESP32-WROVER-DEV (CAM)

2. Rotary encoder

3. External SD Card module
