MECHA User’s Guide v.05.4 ! Dual Axis

A'er start posi!on, we have to specify the details for the $rst posi!on, as

follows:

‚Number of posi!on un!l the changes occursƒ

Z‚MECHA-V posi!onƒ€‚MECHA-H posi!onƒ

1=0_0

Assuming parked posi!on, our script becomes:

S=90, 1=0_0,

Then we have to think about how we want MECHAs to move so that we

have 12 photos around, 30° apart.

For the next posi!on, MECHA-H rota!on will be 30°, while for MECHA-V the

posi!on does not change.

We can write that as 1=0_30, but S language also allows this compact form

instead:

=_30, by omi#ng the number 1, and wri!ng the equal sign

followed by nothing, meaning no changes for MECHA-V.

So, the script becomes:

S=90, 1=0_0, =_30,

The movement for the next 10 posi!ons or photos *as we have only one

photo at every posi!on+ will con!nue by changing only the rota!on of

MECHA-H, then at 11th photo something changes, MECHA-V should rotate

the upper rail up 5;°, so we have to add

11=45, to our script:

S=90, 1=0_0, =_30, 11=45,

Then 11 posi!ons will con!nue in the same manner, and at the 12th photo

MECHA-V should rotate down 5; *-5;+°. So, we have to add

12=-45, to our

script, and it becomes:

S=90, 1=0_0, =_30, 11=45, 12=-45,

Next 1st posi!on for the change to occur

MECHA-V at a !lt or pitch of 0° *thus MECHA-V does not move+

MECHA-H at yaw of 0° rela!ve to previous *thus MECHA-H does

not move+
