Press the
S
button to start the backlash compensation procedure and wait
until the power button symbol start flashing on the display, then press the
P
button when you notice that MECHA starts moving very slightly to the left.
● i3 REAL MOVE 1 / 2 — This is the length of a path traveled by a REAL device
controlled by the Rotator 1/2 for a certain amount of rotation performed by
MECHA. See the REAL MOVE option for more details. Press either
S
or
+
button to enter edit mode and adjust its value.
● ZENITH / NADIR POS. — Press either
S
or
+
button to enter edit mode if
you need to change the default values, which are 90° and -90°. Other
values may be useful for backlash reasons or to have a certain overlap.
MECHA will use these values in scripts that contain Z and N.
● UPDATE — Press the
S
button to re-update the current firmware. MECHA
will use the latest data connection available to connect to the internet.
● REBOOT — Press the
S
button to reboot MECHA without power cycling it.
● FIRMWARE VERSION — Press the
S
button to show the current firmware
version for all MCUs (microcontroller units) and connected rotators. The first

UPDATE options. The others cannot be updated in the same way, but it is
good to know where to find them in case you need assistance.
● UPDATE USING H-SPOT — Press the
S
button to update the firmware using
a hot-spot with the name MECHA-UPDATE and (default) password
87654321, which needs to be created and active before using this option
(see Firmware Update Using a Hot-spot).
Reset options
● RESET CONFIG. TO DEFAULT ! — Resets the configuration settings to their
default values, for example: SSID password → 12345678, Password for
Configuration page → Mecha, Hot-Spot password for firmware update →
87654321, Default Mode → AP.
● FACTORY RESET ! — Will restore your MECHA to its original factory settings.

the display:
○ After a few seconds, you are asked to repeat the step above, so press
