The StarGO2 On-Device Display (SODD)
The SODD allows to interact with the StarGO2 hardware directly on the mount controller itself. It
is a 7” touch screen that is capable to set all important parameters of the mount and the way to
communicate with it.
When the power cable is inserted in the input plug, the system automatically starts. After 20-25
seconds the SODD is populated with the primary main screen (see figure ).

2.1.2.The Secondary Main Screens
Even the new parameters contained in the secondary SODD screen are self-explaining (Figure
2.2a): They are subdivided in four sectors: the information of the top sector is related to the actual
astronomy times, the second sector shows the actual RA/DEC position of the mount and actual
