What's new

  • Screen rotationSCREEN ROTATION

    Set AGO down whichever way suits your bench. It reads the tilt and flips the display 180°, so it always faces you the right way up.

  • Alarm timerALARM TIMER

    Pick how many seconds of early warning you want before a pour or step ends, and AGO sounds off ahead of time.

  • Japanese firmware

    AGO now speaks Japanese, with native fonts and menu labels throughout the interface.

  • Scrolling program names

    Long custom names stop getting clipped. They scroll across the display so you can read the whole thing.

  • Smarter step time steps

    Editing a step now moves in increments that fit its length: fine adjustments on short times, bigger jumps on long ones.

Program updates
