Thanks for sharing

One note on the Source Code paragraph. I don't believe any PIC's
internal oscillator is stable enough, wrt to V and T, for comms. The
time spent quantifying IntRC for a particular device would be better
spent on a trip to the crystal shop

I had the idea a few days ago to make a panoramic head. As often
happens, it wasn't a novel idea. The first one I saw was this

http://www.gigapan.org/

Had a bit of a Google around and found most were similar. Some
more robust but all had the same basic functions

Here's where I'm to up with mine

The s/w (18F4550) is all but done. Basic functions up front plus more
complex ones accessed through a menu, plus remote control over-ride
for both the motors and shutter control. Hopefully today I'll be having
a look at the actual mechanics and start putting some metal together. I
chose to drive the axes with 40:1 reduction worm drives, which in theory
gives 0.045 degree resolution with 200-step motors, plus the advantage
of being able to use smaller motors
