photogram.cpp

// 
// Photogrammetry uses photographs taken from various angles to collect data about a 3D object
// that can converted by software to create a 3D image, eg for 3D printing a replica.
// To enable photographs to be taken from different angles a turntable hosting the object can be rotated at intervals
// in front of a static camera.
//
// The ESP can be used to control the turntable using a stepper motor, and take photograps either using its built in camera, 
// or by remotely controlling the shutter of a DSLR camera.

// A turntable can be 3D printed and driven by a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor with ULN2003 Motor Driver.
// 
// Example of 3D printed turntable: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4817279
// Example of circuit to interface to RS-60E3 Remote Switch for DSLR cameras: github.com/ch3p4ll3/ESP-Intervallometer#how-to-make-your-intervallometer
// Use Meshroom software to create a 3D image: alicevision.org/#meshroom
// Use Blender software to convert and modify the image for 3D printing: www.blender.org

// Use web interface to specify the parameters and pins to be used listed below. The turntable will make a complete rotation, stopping at regular intervals
// to take a photo depending on number of photos required. If the ESP camera is used, the photos are stored on the SD card as JPEG images in a folder
// named after the date time when the Start button was pressed.
// If the ESP lamp LED is enabled, it will be used as a flash.
