# How I Designed This

That was a challenge to me, when my friend asked me to make a rotating time lapse machine with оver-a-day rotation for his GoPro.
He said that hi wants to follow the sun.
I made it!

After some attempts I've chosen heavy geared motor, but 1 rpm gave more precesion. 
Now I thinking about to use small stepper motor and Arduino to control rpm and precesion.
