Rotctld reading hangs easily in the hamlib status window #103

Closed bjorgan closed 2 years ago

bjorgan commented 2 years ago

The hamlib status window ('s' under multi or single tracking mode) often/always freezes when connecting towards a rotctld instance running against GS232B at LA1K.

Probably due to rotctld timing out on commands, and the feedback from rotctld not being handled well by flyby.

Fixed in 1d553cee9043df83457b0a648a87e47937233eff: Timeout feedback now handled, does not hang anymore.

The UI is not very responsive with these timeout issues, however, but plan to improve on this in https://github.com/la1k/flyby/issues/104.
