# Mount

## Overview

The `pocs mount` command offers some basic ways to interact with the mount, mostly to be used while testing or as a backup if something goes wrong.

You should not run these commands while POCS is running!

## Commands

### `park`

Used for moving the mount to the parking position.

```
(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  pocs mount park
```

### `search-home`

Search for the home position on mounts that support it. Currently that is the iOptron CEM40.

```
(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  pocs mount search-home
```

### `slew-home`

Slew to the saved home position.

```
(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  pocs mount slew-home
```

### `setup`

Auto-detect the mount port and type, check for the firmware version, and set the config entries.

```
(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  pocs mount setup
```

## Configuration

The configuration key for the mount is simpy `mount`.

```
(conda-pocs)  panoptes@panoptes  pocs config get mount
