Getting started guide #16

Using the sdrangel-docker repos, I was able to get the server and client working. I can connect to the web server and it makes a successful connection to the sdrangle-server16 on 8091. I see this page: image

I can add a source, e.g. the rtl-sdr or a hackrf, and see something like: image

Now what? Is there a getting started guide for sdranglecli or a description of how this tool works?

The first thing to do is to get familiar with the SDRangel main GUI application. This web client can be used to remote control a SDRangel instance (GUI or server) and is essentially based on the SDRangel functionality exposed by the GUI.

Then if you mouse over the buttons and other controls the tooltips should guide you.

Maybe I will write a Wiki page some day but this interface is not targeted at a wide audience and supposed to be used by people already familiar with the main application. It is also an example of web UI interaction with the REST API and can be an inspiration to develop an interface of your own.
