The OpenMoco system is an open-source software and hardware motion control system for time-lapse photographers and videographers. We also strive to provide an open environment for the photographic community to discuss all types of motion control and contribute free and open software and hardware designs for all types of photography.
The OpenMoco Engine components run on the low-cost AVR-based Arduino hardware platform, while the OpenMoco Interfaces can run on anything from specialized touch-screen interfaces to PCs, laptops, and netbooks, and the OpenMoco Elements are specialized hardware constructs designed to make motion control easy and affordable. The elements include everything from pre-built motor axis units, to DIY designs for building your own exposure control systems, etc.




Open Source Living is a dynamic archive of Open Source software (OSS) spanning all major platforms, inclusive of small to large scale projects. It aims to introduce and inform new users about viable OSS alternatives to corporate, closed source software.
Through its Community Facebook Page and exciting multi-authored publication, Sourced, OS Living houses informed discussion on issues of import in the Open Source field.
OS Living adheres to the Open Source Initiative's definition of OSS. Each software item included in the archive endeavours to conform to OSI guidelines on standards and licensing. Find out more »
