Antenna tracking #84

Open ok1cdj opened 3 years ago

ok1cdj commented 3 years ago

Hello, i am using simple antenna rotator https://www.sarcnet.org/rotator-mk1.html which support serial control or rotctld. Is possible to add antenna tracking to SW ? 2 ways are possible connect serial and send - azimut elevation 9600 Bd or send data postion to rotctld by network like echo "\set_pos 135.0 30.0" | nc -w 1 IP_addr 4533 Network way is better because any rotator which is supported by rotctld will works.

I think that this will be nice for tracking low power SATs with yagi antenna...

Regards, Ondra OK1CDJ

Hello, we are planning to support some kind of tracking in the future and we have already made some tests: https://t.me/c/1448773154/22000

However, there is still some work on the queue that has to be done first. We'll track the status of the feature here.
