The full control of the setup is made through the Nebula Go To System WebApp used together with the Raspberry internal kStar or with external astrophotographic softwares, as explained above.

However the controller comes provided with a Handcontroller that allow basic and some advanced features.

It will be possible, for example, just using the Handcontroller, to switch from the WiFi interface from the managed mode to the hotspot mode or triggering the Sync Home Position.

Those feature can be really helpful to have an intuitive and advanced control of the setup, allowing to easily establish a connection with a pc or smart device to obtain a full controf the setup.
