CaPiSche stands for Camera Pi Scheduler.
It is not only a scheduler. It can move, turn and tilt the camera while recording or between 2 pictures. The CaPiSche once started as a ArduinoPhotoBot (german) in April 2011. The first goal was to create spheric panoramas in HDR. Later i realized that i also can use it for gigapixel panoramas and for timelapse-photography.
After reaching (mostly my) limits in programming a decent graphical menu to the arduino to select the different modes it can be used i switched to a Raspberry Pi as heart of the whole project. The trick is that i then can use simple file handling, write in python, use a standard lighttp-Webserver as userinterface and i can use basic PC hardware as interface. But the most usefull benefit of hardware-switch is that i can edit the program interactive on screen or by ssh-client.
