MECHA User’s Guide v.05.4 ! Single Axis

• Next to the [info] bu"on there is a list of op!ons to set the level of

complexity of the page, from the simplest *S1+ to the most complex *A3+,

where all the controls are displayed. So, select A3 to show all the

controls.

• Under the Row label, we see the current %rmware version, 02110 in our

example. By clicking this tag, we access the What's new? page.

• At the right side of the page, see the ba"ery percentage *85\ in our

example+. If the percentage drops too much and a

red LED con!nuously

blinks, it is recommended to recharge the ba"ery, otherwise MECHA

switches o>. On the con%gura!on page, we will see that there is a

se#ng for disabling MECHA during charging, to prevent accidents

caused by the charger cable which can twist around the tripod, if

MECHA is commanded, by mistake, to do a preset during charging.

• The hand symbol toggles gesture mode. Tap on screen and drag to see

how it works. Always make sure there are no objects near the robot,

especially in gesture mode.

• In the next area, the MECHA’s ID, the Refresh rate of the motor/

controller status and the Current rotator are displayed, followed by the

Current angle posi$on, and the Current status *shots remaining,

posi!on, repeat set+. On MECHA DAC, the Status feedback *SF+ also

re)ects the !lt angle for the 2nd axis. When scrip!ng is used, yaw is

shown on Status feedback, as well.

• At the right side of this area, we see the Current $me, the Current date

or $me remaining, the Current rota$on degree interval, the Seconds

remaining in current delay.

• The horizontal slider allows manual rota!on in degrees, rela!ve to the

current posi!on. Click/tap on screen and drag to the le' or to the right.

The controls displayed below the slider, shown in the image below, are

directly related to the current preset and se#ngs. The values displayed in

the %elds are the current preset *sa_7shots in our example+.
