Papywizard is entirely written in python and, although developped under linux, should runs under many platformes (Windows/WindowsCE, MacOS, Unix...). It is especially designed to run on small plateforms, like PDA. Unfortunally, my tests under PocketPC showed that it is very difficult to develop on it. I bought a used [http://europe.nokia.com/A4145104 Nokia 770] Internet Tablet, and successfully ran Papywizard :o) Some guys successfully ran it on N800 and N810. So I concentrate my efforts on [http://www.maemo.org maemo] plateform... Another future solution will be to use [http://www.openmoko.com Openmoko] plateform, with the recently available ''!FreeRunner'' cellphone. Anyway, at this time, Papywizard successfully runs on PC/linux, Nokia/maemo, and PC/windows. It should run as well on MacOS, but nobody tried it yet (there is no pre-build PyGTK package for MacOS, so user must compile it). This project is developped in collaboration with [http://www.kolor.com Kolor company], which develops [http://www.autopano.net Autopano Pro], a great stitcher software. Thanks to Alexandre and his team for their support! '''Papywizard is not a commercial project: I develop it on my free time, because it is fun. So, I don't make support for professional usage. This does not mean that it can't be used by pro photographers, but be aware that things can go wrong while shooting, and neither my responsability, nor Kolor one, can be engaged is such case. ''Note: the recent 1.6.0 stable release is probably the last one of the 1.x branch. Papywizard as reached a level I never expected; thanks to all users and contributors! But there are still many things we can do with such project, and Papywizard needs a deep code review to implement them in a correct way. So, it is time for a v2. The first step will be to switch to !PyQt toolkit. This will drop the support for the Nokia 770, which don't run Qt/PyQt, but no problem for the N800/N810. And it will add support for a lot of other platforms (including MacOS). The recent Nokia annoncement (which bought Trolltech, Qt company) to release Qt under LGPL ensures that Qt it is really a good choice for the future. So the first release of Papywizard v2 will certainly be the same as the 1.6, but using !PyQt instead !PyGtk. Then, I'll add new features. Stay tuned! '' Enjoy! [[BR]] ''The Papywizard team'' == Latest news == * 2009-03: Papywizard now runs on MacOS (10.4 only for now). Thanks to Jeremy! * 2009-01: first dev. release (1.9.0) using !PyQt. This is the 1.6.0 version using !PyQt instead of !PyGtk (graphical shooting area missing). New features will come later. * 2009-01: version 1.6.0 is out. Introduce a simple timer/intervalometer feature, and alternate shooting view. This is the last release of the 1.x branch; time to start v2 ;o) See [source:/tags/1.6.0/ChangeLog ChangeLog] for all new features. * 2008-11: Bluetooth now works under Windows! * 2008-11: version 1.4.0 is out. Main improvements are FOV and number of pictures as input params, preview positions in shooting dialog, and rewind/forward shooting feature. See [source:/tags/1.4.0/ChangeLog ChangeLog] for all new features. * 2008-11: version 1.2.0 is out. A lot of improvements for this release (custom user presets, Windows installer...); see the [source:/tags/1.2.0/ChangeLog ChangeLog] for all new features... * 2008-10: Openmoko seems a good candidate, as Papywizard runs on it ''out-of-the-box'' (simulation mode). More tests to come. * 2008-09: Papywizard runs again under Windows (svn version), except for bluetooth. Hope to fix this soon. * 2008-09: version 1.0 is out!

The very low price of the Merlin/Orion mount made it the perfect candidate. The only things to do were an electronic interface, and a little software to drive it! * [http://www.autopano.fr/wiki/action/view/T%C3%AAte_astronomique_Multi-fonctions_Merlin Wiki français Autopano Pro] -- Page wiki française sur la tête Merlin * [http://www.autopano.net/wiki/action/view/Orion_TeleTrack_altazimuth_tracking_mount English Autopano Pro wiki] -- English Orion related wiki page * [http://www.autopano.net/forum/f14-projet-de-ta-te-panoramique-motorisa-e Forum français Autopano Pro] -- Discussions en français sur la tête panoramique motorisée basée la Merlin/Orion * [http://www.autopano.net/forum/f20-merlin,orion-and-papywizard English Autopano Pro forum] -- English discussions on Merlin/Orion-based motorized panohead * [http://www.papymerlin.com Papywizard et Merlin/Orion] -- Claude's web site about this project * [http://www.autopano.net/forum/t4794-low-cost-motorised-pano-head-for-compacts-and-dslrs-merlin-papywizard Low cost motorised pano head for compacts and DSLRs - Merlin/Papywizard] -- review by Andrew * [http://gigapans.blogspot.com Orion Mount for Gigapixel Panoramic Photography] -- review by Jason's Odyssey * [http://www.brewzone.com/2008/11/diy-pano-head Building A Merlin Or Orion Motorized Pano-head] -- review by !BeeZed __Use the forums for questions, bugs reports, or to ask for new features.__ == Documentation == * [InstallationGuide Installation Guide] * [UserGuide User Guide] * [UserGuideSvn User Guide Svn] -- Developpement version * [wiki:UserGuide1.4 User Guide 1.4.x], [wiki:UserGuide1.2 User Guide 1.2.x], [wiki:UserGuide1.0 User Guide 1.0.x] -- Previous stable versions * [TipsAndTricks Tips and tricks] * [wiki:FAQ FAQ] * [DevelopGuide Developper Guide] * [http://www.python.org Python] -- Python == Screenshots == See [ScreenShots this page]. == Download == === Stable version === ''If you are using a Nokia, the best way to install Papywizard is to add my catalogue, then use the maemo application manager.
