There are a couple of conven�ons in S language, and the most important
are:
EXAMPLE 1 (MSS)
Let's start with a simple example,
an MSS script (MECHA’s Simple
Scrip�ng), and then con�nue with
S-Language examples.
Suppose we want to script a
panorama star�ng from
parked
posi�on, made of 12 photos
around, zenith, nadir, one row at
0°, one row at +45° and, finally,
one at -45°. The MSS script, in this
case, can be:
SP,Z,N,0x12,45x12,-45x12
In the parked posi�on, the camera - mounted on the upper rail - is facing
up, as in the image above.
If we want the star�ng and ending posi�ons to be level , the script will be:
SL,Z,N,0x12,45x12,-45x12
and if we want the star�ng and ending posi�ons to be rised , the script will
be:
_ underscore refers to MECHA-H: 1 LED is ON when paired
= equal sign refers to MECHA-V: 2 LEDs are ON when paired
:: double colon is equivalent to the equal sign
( ) round brackets indicate a loop
^
caret means „rela�ve to the previous posi�on”, and can be used for
MECHA-V, as posi�ons for MECHA-H are always rela�ve to the
previous posi�on
