MECHA C2 User’s Guide v.02.8.6

In both cases will be a pause of 2 seconds after each shot (p=2).
Let's now explain the above examples and see how you can modify them to
create your own preset.
The parameters passed in the url are as follows:
● The first parameter is b and refers to the button to which the preset will be
assigned. Possible values are 1, 2, and 3, because MECHA has three
numerical buttons,
-
,
+
, and
=
. There are no numbers displayed on
these buttons of C2 controller, but you may remember that they are also used
to enter the numbers 1, 2 and 3, respectively. This parameter is required.
● The second parameter – s – is the number of shots around; the third
parameter can be used instead.
● The third parameter is the focal length – f – and it is optional. If you provide
this parameter, the panorama will be spherical, otherwise it will be cylindrical.
● The fourth parameter – p – is the pause after each shot, and it is optional. The
default value is 1 second.
● Starting with firmware version (1)2134, you can use h and v parameters to
specify, in degrees, the area of a partial panorama. For example:
192.168.8.1/preset?b=1&f=80&h=100&v=75
Above is the url for a partial panorama for 80 mm lens, 100° wide and 75° tall.
For example, a url with two parameters looks like this:
192.168.8.1/preset?b=1&s=12
Now, all you have to do is replace the values in this example with the desired
values. For example, for 6 shots around:
192.168.8.1/preset?b=1&s=6
and for a full spherical panorama for a 50 mm lens (FF equiv.):
192.168.8.1/preset?b=1&f=50
