Awesome work!

Based on MX2
I will upload video also

Wow. Might have to build one of these since I am in need of an Arduino for a prop for my film anyways.
Hi
Yes if U want, just need some time to find the links and where to buy parts....
Also i make video, how to work...
Regards, miki
Ok, here more data,
..so I ordered from dp website a DIY MX2 for 55 usd, today I checked the site, and did not find just this: http://dynamicperception.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_9&products_id=27
please ask them if possible order the DIY version... but keep it mind that you have to solder all parts (not a big deal, mine has worked at first try..)
I ordered the next motor: http://www.drillspot.com/products/59896/Dayton_2L007_Parallel_Shaft_12_Vdc_Gearmotor
and using this belt: HTD-5M
bought in a shop in Hungary, here is the english site: http://en.powerbelt.hu/?Prod=HTD-5M
and also bought Pre-bored HTD-5M pulley here : http://en.powerbelt.hu/?Prod=HTD-5-M-TARCSA-ELOFURT
Clamping plates was bought also here: http://en.powerbelt.hu/?Prod=LESZORITO-LEMEZ
mine arduino is from hong kong for very low price..
other parts was find in garage...
arduino software can be downloaded from arduino site: http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage
MX2 firmware was downloaded from here: http://openmoco.org/node/213
more info: http://www.openmoco.org/node/212
cable and jacks was ordered ebay, MX2 to DSLR ( for T2i ) is 2.5 to 2.5 jack
all is about 150 USD (except igus... I bought it many years ago )
Hope this help (at least to start)
regards, miki

Does it move fast enough to do realtime dolly moves with that motor? did you program it for dolly moves? From what I have seen with the mx2 it is ether stop move stop timelapse or real slow dolly. Pretty much too slow to use effectively. I have an mx2 on order but from what I have seen from the videos the motors were very slow to traverse the rail. Like moving the length of the rail in 2 minutes.

I have the Stage Zero Dolly. I just got it and have been working with it trying to learn all the functions before taking out for a real run.
With that set up, it can travel up to just over 35 inches a minute. DP website quotes "From 0.12"/minute to 30.9"/minute"
You calibrate it to your pulley size and payload weight as far as distance/speed goes as it works around Pulse Width Modulation for the DC motor drive. One would assume a larger pulley might grant you a faster speed.
