Antenna Control Park

Open BogdanTheGeek opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

I am working on a antenna rotator that acts as a rotctld server. I have gpredict controlling the antenna now and I was wondering if we could have a park button and maybe a parameter set field to specify the parking position? rotctl has a command 'K' for park. I could add it myself and do a PR if you don't have the time. The code base is very clean.

PS: thanks for the awesome tool.

Also on the same line of thinking, could we get the peak amplitude from the fft sent over?

Sure we can add support for rotator parking. It would probably be useful in many setups. What do you think would be most useful:

  1. A button as you describe?
  2. A rotator setting to park the rotator whenever it is not tracking a satellite?
  3. Both?

Also on the same line of thinking, could we get the peak amplitude from the fft sent over?

Sorry, I don't understand this question.

Hi, as it been implemented? The option 3 would be great!
