MECHA User’s Guide v.05.4 ! Single Axis

• the LEDs 1, 2 and 3, under the ba"ery symbol, will start )ashing, and

MECHA waits *

1; seconds+ for one of the bu"ons [1], [2], or [3] to be

pressed, to assign the computed preset to that par!cular bu"on. To

cancel the assignment, the power bu"on, ⏻, can be pressed instead.

If MECHA is unable to compute a pa"ern using the feedback received from

pressing the power bu"on *mostly caused by too small intervals+, the LEDs

will show ###, which indicates that nothing has changed.

To execute the panorama computed by MECHA, make sure the ver!cal rail

is in LEVEL posi!on, and press the bu"on to which you have assigned the

panorama, then press either the le' or right bu"on.

If Single MECHA is used, a'er %rst row MECHA pauses and suggests, on

LEDs, a manual !lt of the ver!cal axis to con!nue to full spherical

panorama.

If only cylindrical is needed, or no manual !lt is possible, press the power

bu"on of MECHA, ⏻.
