First of all, great job on the slider/belt/motor combo!
Have you been able to get the motor/carriage to go any slower for timelapses? Like 2 RPM maybe? What happens if you were to forget the motor was going and the carriage hit the end of the track... does the motor keep trying to go or does it shut off? Can this ruin the motor? How long does the USB battery last? Would love to hear more!

Thanks.

I've playing with this for a few days now without having to recharge. Don't have any specifics, but the servo does not appear to need a lot of juice. I think my next project will be a bit smarter with computer control and limit switches, but for a quick and dirty slider that can fit in a small tripod case, this works out well.

Re: DIY Motorized IGUS Slider
I do not have the skills or patience to do something similar, but would be more than willing to buy everything ready to install on my Glidetrack hybrid from one of you. Is there someone considering to commercialize this kind of add-on?
