Features:
- timelapse control (Slider runtime in minutes)
- calibration for Sliders in any length (runs from end to end to count the number of steps the motor needs for the way)

- silent and shakeless operation (thanks to SilentStepStick)
To-Do-List:
- go-stop-shoot-go-stop-shoot feature for long exposures
- maybe additional camera connection for shutter
- nice and clean HTML5/JavaScript Webinterface (as long as the ESP can handle it)
