OptoStacker

OptoStacker for "The Dome"

The newly developed OptoStacker controller is the next evolution in Focus Stacking and Photogrammetry. Based on the StackMaster R2 controller became a 3rd output to control an focus tunable lense system developed by OptoTune. Thanks to an integrated WLAN system, it can be operated directly with any terminal device that has Wi-Fi. This also eliminates the need for cumbersome software installation.
Optionally available sensors such as proximity switches, light barriers, IR barriers, etc. can be connected to the controller. These are used to start the stack function automatically. The number of the function can be entered.

The technical key feathures are:

  • Software integrated in the controller;
  • WLAN: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi;
  • Size: 175x106x55 mm (L x W x H);
  • Weight: 470g;
  • Power supply: 12-24V;
  • 2 GX-12 connectors to attach X/Y stepper motors, up to 1,2A (NEMA 17 class);
  • 1 GX-12 connectors to attach OptoTune focus tunable lense system;
  • Connector 2,5mm jack for camera remote shutter release;
  • Connector 3,5mm jack for div.sensors;
  • Connector 3,5mm jack for RGB-LED direct controll or via external relay box;
  • Acustical and optical feedback system;
  • The controller can be used to control all cameras that have a connection for a remote trigger. To connect the controller with the camera you need a control cable (optionally available, see under accessories);
  • An IR remote trigger, proximity switches, light barriers, IR barriers, etc. are also available;

The controller contains all functions that are important and useful for stacking and Photogrammetry, such as:

  • Manual movement of the carriage - slow, medium and fast
  • Stacks with fixed starting point. End point can be determined manually by STOP button;
  • Stacks with fixed start and end point;
  • Single steps at the end of each stack;
  • Video function;
  • Video stacks;
  • Photogrammety capabilyties;
  • Integrated step size calculator;
  • Support for rotary and linear motion;
  • Database for different sets;
  • Output of a protocol about the made stack;
  • OTA software and firmware update possible;
  • Direct RGB LED controll or via external optinal relay box standalone LED solutions;
  • Supported languages: German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish;
  • and much more.
